Custom Reports Mgration from 2.2.9 to 2.3.17?

[David T.]

Okay, so coming back to this thread (which I hijacked myself!), I *still* don't have the custom reports from 2.2.9 available in 2.3.17.

It seems to me that I shouldn't have both the saved-reports-2.0 and saved-reports-2.4. Shouldn't these have been merged somehow?
