[GNC] Saving visible Accounts columns between GnuCash runs

[James Walker]

Hello all,

I'm very new to GnuCash and enjoying the program so far.

I've got a particular issue which I can't find a solution to after extensive searching of the manual.

In the chart of accounts, I want many more columns to be visible than are displayed by default:

However, after I exit the program, my customised field arrangement is lost. How do you get the order and display settings of Accounts columns to persist on save?

No matter what I select from the dropdown, all the non-default fields are lost after closing and restarting GnuCash. I can't see any other method in the interface to save the Accounts view configuration.

This is quite frustrating having to spend a minute each time I start GnuCash, setting up the chart of accounts screen again...

Kind regards,
James Walker
