Adrien, that was it.I exported the accounts to a CSV. Edited the file, removed all accounts but the one I wanted to duplicate. Edited those account lines with the new name and imported back into GNUCash. BAM! Just what I was after. :)
Thanks much!Steve Message: 5 Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 14:38:33 -0600 From: Adrien Monteleone <adrien.montele...@gmail.com> To: "gnucash-user@gnucash.org" <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: Duplicating Accounts?

Then I looked at exporting and importing an account tree, but again, while export is possible, I don't see how to import a partial tree. Best of luck.
