Ah, I misunderstood. It's disabled in the Action menu when the placeholder account's register is open and focussed. It does indeed work from the accounts page, both in the Action and the context menus. That's an oversight and should be fixed. Regards, John Ralls > On Oct 10, 2022, at 5:04 PM,

Re: [GNC] Problem with missing balance in a parent account **FINAL POST**

Hi Jay. You are correct. A placeholder account as simply a "group" that holds other accounts. You can certainly reconcile accounts that are "under" a placeholder account. On a placeholder account, you can't get the reconcile button because you can't open the transaction list. However, if you u

Re: [GNC] Problem with missing balance in a parent account

I have a substantially similar arrangement with sub-accounts under a checking account. And I also use v4.12 under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I suspect there are a couple of things going on: 1) When you click the Open button on the placeholder account, nothing shows up. If you want to see the consolidated b

That account register doesn't have any transactions in it, so it won't have any value either. Is it possible that in the past, you used a report to see the parent account balances, or even the Chart of Accounts? And if the account in the screen shot is a placeholder account, then you a) wouldn

Jay, I'm using the Flatpak version on Ubuntu. What version of GnuCash are you using and is it Flatpak / Distribution provided / self built ? I vaguely recall if it was the Flatpak version uninstalling and then re-installing was sufficient to correct the issue. Cheers David H. On Sat, 8 Oct 2022

Jay, UPGRADING to ubuntu 22.04 caused issues not only with Gnucash but also my NVidia video card. If you do a google search (site: lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user ubuntu 22.04) in gnucash-user you'll find a couple of threads re the issue. I think from memory I just blew away my upgraded

Good Morning, BRAND NEW to the list, have been using GnuCash on my Ubuntu system for over 20 years, this is the first problem I have encountered that I have not been able to resolve. I discovered that the balance amount that should appear in a the parent account for my bank is missing. There
