Hello,
I am on Windows 10, using Version: 4.2
Build ID: git 4.2-213-g562b4be22+(2020-11-21)
Back in June 2019
(https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-June/085636.html),
I reported a problem with an odd error in a saved report. After some
back and forth, I don't believe that any resolution occurred, and I have
re-encountered the error.
This time, I am using the stock Asset Chart report, and again I
encounter the nonsensical error repeatedly:
"This report was saved using a later version of GnuCash. One of the
newer multichoice options '7' is not available, fallback to the option '2'."
Testing reveals that this error is referring to the fact that I am
selecting the "Show Accounts until level" to use the provided value of
'6' (which is the seventh option in the list, which includes All and
1-6). It pops up numerous times when I run the report, presumably
because it iterates through the accounts and barfs each time it gets to
a sixth-level account.
This error is nonsensical because:
1) I am invoking the report from the Report menu for the first time in
THIS version of GnuCash; there are no saved versions of the report
2) There are no newer versions of GnuCash that I have run on my machine, and
2) I am SELECTING THE VALUE THAT IS PROVIDED IN THE REPORT OPTIONS.
This error can easily be replicated; just open the base GnuCash Asset
Chart (Report->Assets & Liabilities->Asset Chart), select some accounts,
and choose '6' in the "Show Accounts until level" drop down. The error
will then trigger.
If there is a simple hack I can apply to remove this error, I'd
appreciate knowing it. As it stands, the result is annoying, and the
fact that it is embedded in the GnuCash-supplied report is problematic.
