Hide Closed Accounts from Drop Down List?

edited December 2018 in Investing (Windows)
When creating a report, or in the INVESTING tab, the drop down for the accounts shows every one whether still open, closed or hidden.   I've been using Quicken for many years so the number of closed investment accounts i have are very large.

Is there any way to make the drop downs only show active or non-hidden accounts?

(Remember: I'm not talking about the register or the left pane.  I'm referring to "investing" tab

thanks

    Until someone at Quicken gets a round tuit and fixes this long outstanding issue, how about this:
    Rename each closed, hidden, obsolete account and add an x, z or ~ as the first character of the account name. That will sort it to the bottom of any alphabetically sorted selection list and make it easily recognizable as an account you shouldn't select.

    I've created an "Idea" so that people can vote on it:

    Love this solution.  I still have stocks on the drop down list from the 1990's!
