Thanks David, I found autofill takes longer, it's quicker to duplicate the record and just enter a date rather than tabbing though and autofilling. However, it looks as though the scheduled transactions feature solves the issue I was having.
Thanks again, Will Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2016 at 2:13 PM From: David <[email protected]> To: "will Snow" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: How the date populates when transactions are duplicated Will, Not that I'm a programmer or anything, but I can't see why you'd do this. It seems to me that a user could set the date to their starting point and use autofill to create their transactions. Having yet another preference setting will only add to general user confusion, I think.

I tend to do my accounts a ll at once towards the end of the year so this seems to slow me down quite a lot as I have to enter an entire date all the time rather than just bumping up the day in the date field. So I was thinking about adding an option somewhere where the user can specify how the date field populates on duplication (or perhaps thi s already exists?). It looks as though the relevant code is inside src/gnome-utils/dialog-dup-trans. c and the flow goes as: gnc_dup_trans_dialog -> gnc_dup_trans_dialog_internal -> g nc_dup_trans_dialog_create Moreover, it looks as though date and date_p are key variables but I'm not sure on where to pull the date stored in the transaction in the parent window. Or if I should be doing it in some other way? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
