So if I understand correctly, you’re saying the there’s already a setting (Sorting/Show Account Description) that is supposed to address this, but it doesn’t currently work properly. And that the bug was recently or is about to be fixed.
Also, I should look for the fixed version in the nightly builds, right? Is that right? Sorry for double-checking, I just want to be sure I understand, Paul From: Christopher Lam <christopher....@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2024 1:09 AM To: Paul Kroitor <p...@kroitor.ca> Cc: Gnucash Users <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] Transaction Report Shortcomings Hi, See Sorting/Show Account Description. This is a bug which will be fixed tomorrow. https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/ HTH On Wed, 1 May 2024 at 22:07, Paul Kroitor <p...@kroitor.ca <mailto:p...@kroitor.ca> > wrote: Is there a way to get the Transaction Report to show Account Description rather than Account Name in the group header lines (not the detail lines)? I have a number of expense accounts that have identical subaccounts, for example House-1:Property Tax and House-2:Property Tax. In the CoA, the Name for these sub-accounts is just Prop Tax, but the Description is House-1 Property Tax. The problem is that Transaction Reports (when set to primary key = Account Name) become confusing because there become several groups simply titled Prop Tax with no further distinction. It would be better if it could somehow more clearly show the account hierarchy - Quicken's Itemized Categories report is great at this with it's collapsable tree design - but just showing the full account name would be a good start. In some reports I can choose to show the Account Description (full name), but the Transaction Report doesn't seem to have this option. Or perhaps I should look at approaching this from the other direction and look for an Income / Expense report showing full detail lines?
