Edit/Delete the Default Portfolio Views (6 Legacy Votes)

There are about 10 default portfolio views in the drop-down list on the "Show" button on the Portfolio Screen. I'd like to be able to delete and/or reorder these default views entirely, in favor of using my own customized views only. I'd like to be able to right click on any view in the dropdown list and have the option to delete it, and also be able to drag and drop existing views into the order I want them to appear. This would make the Portfolio View screen more user friendly.

One problem with the current implementation is that unlike the reports, you can change the pre-configured views and there is no way to revert to the default settings. Something like what they have done for "My saved reports" might be good.
Note however that at least you can rename any of the views to fit your needs.
Do you know what that does if you have changed the name of the view? Does it change it back to both the original name and the original settings? That could be confusing.
I would want a recent backup before trying that!
So yes, it knew that it was the Employee Stock Options view, even though I had mangled it considerably, and I agree it’s a risky button to press without a recent backup, particularly if you’ve spent a lot of time setting up a view just how you want it.
In my case, I have used all 18 views (most of the originals are original, the Custom ones are my customized versions). These have been pretty set for me for 20+ years, so I know where to look in the list to find the view I want. So I don't really need your idea implemented for me, but it seems like the "right" thing to do. That is not to say it would be easy to do or will be done.
If would append to your idea that an expansion above 18 views would benefit many users.
Although the Reports screens are a bit more complex, I find them fairly intuitive. The Portfolio views are not - even the default views are not in any logical order. The ability to reorder the drop-down list would be my most preferable option if I could only have one (vs. ability to also delete).
This Idea seems to have fallen stagnant and due to the age of the request and lack of User Votes/Comments, it will be archived within the next 7 business days.
If you would like to see this Idea kept alive and considered for possible future implementation in Quicken, be sure to add your vote and a comment explaining how this Idea would be beneficial for you.
