[GNC] Wishlist in Ledger option

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Shashi/GNUCash users, 

While I will let Stan answer the bulk of your accounting/user interface
question/issue, I do want to note that Ubuntu 20.04 is a very old
version of Ubuntu. 

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu - the current
version of Ubuntu is 25.04/Plucky. 

If the hardware that you are using allows you to upgrade to the current
version (or even a currently supported version of Ubuntu, as 20.04 is
now End of Life/unsupported), you may also want to check which version
of GNUCash you are using. 

The current version of GNUCash is 5.11 -
