App crash screenshot

SUMMARY
Trying to edit one of the first accounts I created with no institution. I was able to edit a "credit card" account that also had no initial institution, but the loan account crashes the program each time.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a loan account with no institution selected so it becomes "Accounts with no institution assigned"
2. After account is created, try to edit with either toolbar Edit Account button or context menu from right-click. Happens from either Institutions or Accounts view.


OBSERVED RESULT
Uncaught error:
unknown institution /builddir/build/BUILD/kmymoney-5.0.2/kmymoney/mymoney/storage/mymoneystoragemgr.cpp:561

EXPECTED RESULT
Edit account details and assign/change institution.

kmymoney (5.0.2) using Qt 5.11.3

- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Tried to test out loans as a means to allocate money for a saving goal.
Created a loan without credit institution.

Deleting account is greyed out from context menu;
Trying to edit account will crash the application every time.
Error Details given:

That was an error on my end.
Found the recurring payment, deleted that, and was able to delete the loan account.


I would still expect to be unable to create an "illegal" loan account to prevent such errors from occuring, or at least more helpful error messages on how to resolve this, if not better handling in the code itself.

How was your loan account "illegal" and can you suggest and addition to the manual to at least warn about this problem?

> How was your loan account "illegal"

Illegal in terms of "case not properly handled by code", not national-law-illegal.
It was missing a financial institution.
- Possible to enter such a loan into the system
- Impossible to edit the loan once it's in the system


> addition to the manual to at least warn about this problem?

I do not think adding this to the manual would have warned about anything.
My suggestion was to have a better/dedicated error message in-program when trying to enter/edit such a loan.
However, from skimming over the diff of the patch for 5.0.5, this seems to have been fixed by catching the error when reading the data from storage, which makes it possible to edit loans without financial institutions.

AKA all my issues have been adressed.
