[GNC] How to set a customer "opening balance" for the Customer Report

[Adrien Monteleone]

I can see it being offered for ease of use, but I agree, it should be either editable from that dialog or maybe at least a tool-tip offered explaining to edit it in one of the respective registers.

Certainly, this is a usability bug.

Adrien
