Graph a "Display Hidden Investments with Activity"

[Djobydjoba]

Hi Mark,

With the report option "Display Hidden Investments with Activity" checked, and the general option "View hidden investments" is not activated.
In the report, right click on such an investment (i.e. a displayed "hidden investments with activity") > Graph, and select a graph type.
Problem : the correct/asked graph is not displayed (because the investment is hidden in the graph window)

Maybe this may be considered as a bug?

Hi Djobydjoba,

I see the same issue, thank you. In this case, there are a few options we could implement:

1) Prompt the user that this is a hidden investment, and ask for permission to turn on "View / Hidden Investments/Portfolios" to display it

2) Just turn on "View / Hidden Investments/Portfolios" without prompting

3) Force the graph to display this investment, even though it is hidden.

I'm leaning towards option 1. What would be your preference?

As you, option 1 looks good (the better) to me.

This was also addressed in Beta 4...

Thanks.

I didn't realize that turning on the hidden investments changes totally the appearance of the report. All the hidden investments with zero values are now displayed in the report. It seems to me that the user doesn't expect that, to make a mess in its report just to see a graph from it... It seems to me the integrity of the report shouldn't be altered in the process.

So now, the option 3) "Force the graph to display this investment, even though it is hidden", looks better to me...

What do you think?

Hi Djobydjoba,

That may be better, but that will have to wait for another major release, as it isn't a small change, the way things work currently...

OK, actually the informative prompt is fine like that too.
