Thanks John.I will search the sources as you suggest.Or I may choose to design my app so as to be completely independant.Gerry Sent from Samsung tablet -------- Original message --------From: John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> Date: 2018-06-03 7:51 PM (GMT-08:00) To: ge...@gerrymatte.ca Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Action column in Splits table https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MAINT/group__Transaction.html#gaf3159327b4bcbb9bb85aed3da9908f1b It does get set automatically in some operations, grep the sources for xaccSplitSetAction to see what and then decide if you can avoid them. A safer approach (at least for the near term) would be to create a slots entry on the split. Near term because at some point we’ll do away with slots, but that won’t be for several more years.

I use gnucash 2.6.19 on windows 10 with a mysql database data store. I've been developing a java standalone application to allow me to store one or more attachments for a gnucash splits record. My attachments table is not stored within the same database as gnucash uses. Although it's not mandatory, it would be convenient if I could use if I could use the action column in the gnucash splits table as part of the linkage between my attachments table and gnucash's splits table. The database wiki describes the columns in the splits table but does not explain what the action column is used for (or reserved for) so I am reluctant to use that column without knowing what it is intended for. Can anyone tell me what the action column in splits is for or will be used for ? Thanks in advance Gerry PS: I'm aware that version 3.x of gnucash supports file attachments but until I am satisfied that all known bugs have been resolved on Win10 I'm unwilling to start using it. It looked to me to not associate attachments to a splits transaction (in a quick look). _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
