Validation errors too vague to act on

Unable to send error report to Quicken

I have similar problems, though have yet to experience the 'unable to report' error. When I validate a file I receive error messages that I cannot act on because they are too vague (e.g., a problem with a corrupted account with a description of the account using, what we called in the old days, 'machine code'). Is there a way that we, as users, can raise the profile of this issue with Quicken? TBH, I have been much happier with Quicken since they forced us all to the subscription model. I was skeptical, but they seemed to have focused very well on their efforts on other problems that users had. This one has been going on for maybe 30 years.
