Created attachment 113566 [details] Screenshot of dialog window when trying to modify or save report In Kmymoney 5.0.1-1 unable to either modify or save any custom reports. Select any report and click 'configure' to modify it. Dialog window opens. Select any tab in the dialog e.g. Date or Account, etc. Make changes. There is no button to either apply or save the changes. Buttons across the bottom are Help, Reset, Find, Close. This happens with both built in reports and reports previously created with version 4.8.
Are you sure it didn'tsave your changes? It may not be obvious, but I think changes to report configuration are saved automatically, and the report is saved with some indication of "modified" or "custom" in the name, unless you explicitly change the name. I know it's not necessarily obvious, but please check whether that's what's actually happening.
Created attachment 113572 [details] Screenshot_20180625_204325.png Hi Jack Thanks for your quick response. I've just checked what you asked but was unable to save any reports. However! It seems that the 'Apply' button in the configure dialog window is actually labelled 'Find' for some reason. By chance my mouse pointer showed a tooltip when held over the 'Find' button stating 'Apply the configuration changes to the report'. When I clicked on 'Find' it actually applied the changes and I was able to save the changes with the 'Save' button in the main window. I've tried modifying and saving several reports. I've attached a modified screenshot with the relevant button highlighted in red. Seems like the 'Find' button in the dialog window needs to be relabelled as 'Apply'?

I suppose we could improve the terminology, or perhaps even add some minimal explanation to the dialog. However, once you make changes to the criteria, they don't actually have any effect until you "find" the transactions contributing to the report using those new criteria. In retrospect, I wonder if the terminology is left over from a query dialog. Would it help to say somewhere (other than the manual, which does need updating also) that there is no need to explicitly save a report, saving is automatic, but changes to search criteria are not actually saved until you hit "Find" to apply those changes to the displayed report." ?
