why is the template invalid? If the is desire for that template to continue then there are flags for that. Budgeting zero after that date feels like the expected behavior from the given settings.

I think I agree with @youngcw . The template check is meant to check syntax, it isn't meant to check if the target goal date is in the past or not. There is a check for when the target date is when running the templates, but the error reporting has been broken for a while. See issue #1507 .

Okay no problem, it just means that the user has no way of tracking goals unless they go into each template regularly and view the end date.
How do I know when the goal is 100% funded to the template? You don't from what I can tell.

Maybe it should warn you when you run a check "hey there is n templates with a date in the past" or a list "x has a date in the past"

@youngcw why has this been closed? It isn't resolved, if it isn't a bug it should at least be a feature request. My latest comment didn't even get a reply, just closed.

@rich-howell I didn't feel like more needed added. I feel like a feature request would be the most appropriate thing for this if you would like to have warnings added for the dates.
