Michael First, good luck and hope all goes well. Second, you can 'describe' a custom report by the following process. This uses the gnucash-cli tool.
$gnucash-cli -R list This will list all built-in and saved reports, the latter denoted by a 'C'. e.g. * Account Summary * Advanced Portfolio * C Annual Report for Accountant Chris AU * Assets * Assets Over Time * Australian Tax Invoice $gnucash-cli -R show --name "Annual Report for Account Chris AU" This describes the report and the options used. e.g. * name: Annual Report for Accountant Chris AU guid: 49b7979123564c5e944586db82a123e8 parent-template: Transaction Report Display / Num: Disabled Display / Memo: Disabled Sorting / Show Full Account Name: Enabled Sorting / Secondary Subtotal for Date Key: none Sorting / Show Account Description: Enabled Sorting / Secondary Key: date Sorting / Primary Key: account-code Accounts / Accounts: null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null Filter / Account Name Filter: ^1 The reason the accounts are null is because the datafile isn't loaded.
