A crucial GNUCash feature that is missing, but easy to implement for budgets

[David T.]

Clearing the cache doesn’t help, although removing the report from loading does remove these errors, so I think it is fair to say that whatever it is preventing the report from loading into the menus, it has to do with something in the report itself.

Thanks,
David
