So... question:

If one edits the transaction by changing an account, should that un-reconcile it?

Say I make a credit card donation to a business and charge the expense to home repairs.  Then I go back and change it from home repairs to charitable donation.  Should that un-reconcile it?

If I change the description from the name of the business to a name of a relative, should that un-reconcile?

What does 'reconcile' mean? Just that there's a matching amount on the statement? regardless of whether the description or balancing account entry matches or not?

I'm not sure this happened prior to version 3. I constantly update reconciled 
transactions. I'm not altering the values, just the reference number (in the 
NUM field) or the description. It cannot possibly be sensible that adjusting 
descriptive, or reference, data in a reconciled transaction leads to its being 
unreconciled, with all the chaos that then ensues. The reconciliation is to do 
with the values, not the description or reference.

Editing a reconciled transaction sets the status to ’n’. That is intended 
behavior.

Concerning the warning dialog you either told it not to warn you for the session, 
or forever. If closing and restarting GnuCash doesn’t bring back the warning, 
check the Actions > Reset Warnings dialog and you’ll see it there. You can 
check the box for it and Apply and it will show next time you edit a reconciled 
transaction.

Adrien

I'm running version 3.2. I reconciled a bank account to the end of July, and 
then added voucher numbers (in the NUM column) to a number of the transactions, 
as I have habitually done with all versions before 3. No warning appeared, BUT 
I have just noticed when trying to reconcile July that the all the transactions 
which had numbers added to their NUM field also had their reconciliation flag 
moved from n to y. I imagine this behaviour is not by design.

If it is now y then they are still reconciled, or do you mean they changed from 
y to n?
