Description Ralf Habacker 2019-09-30 16:30:07 UTC
Currently it is required to open a report to see the range it is designed for. It would save user time if the report range would be displayed in the report list.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start kmymoney
2. open reports

OBSERVED RESULT
There are no report ranges displayed

EXPECTED RESULT
The report range of each report should be displayed

I do not object to this commit, but date range is only one of many criteria or filter conditions for a report.  When I make a custom report (especially if I make several with only slightly differing dates or other filters) I include that information in the name of the report, so I'm not sure how necessary this really is.

When reports are created, they are often defined with the current or last year, month, day, etc. (At least I found that in many of my defined reports). If the KMyMoney file is opened in subsequent years, such customized reports are no longer available and must be redefined individually for the corresponding year by inspecting each report. Having the date range in the list make it much easier to identify those reports.

I think the problem is much worse unless it is intended that reports are sliding. Without a pre-defined base date, reports with these range types are usable only for the year, month, day in which they were created and in all other time ranges worthless because they contain inaccurate values.
