Interesting idea...
I would like to see it implemented as a pop-up dialog asking the user if
(s)he would like to update the 'other side' to the same value if it is a
simple two line transaction. If the user closes the transaction without
responding yes the imbalance amount is entered.

I too have thought it would be nice. Not only when you deliberately
duplicate a transaction but also when GNC pops in the last entered
transaction of the same "name" as the template. I would like the option
to turn off the pop-up for a simple two line transaction. Just do it!
Now, a multi-line transaction will be harder. Even there I'm wondering
if you could flag certain lines to be "static" and reduce it own to just
two "dynamic" lines. For example, the monthly mortgage payment which
consists of:
A. Principal amount -- dynamic
B. Interest amount -- dynamic
C. Escrow amount -- static (changes annually)
D. Bank deduction -- static (changes if escrow changed).
If you changed the amount applied to principal then the interest amount
would change to keep the transaction in balance.
Definitely easier to do with the two line transaction.

Okay John, I will try to be clearer.
I am talking about inputting a new entry into an account. Say, my bank
account. So, in the register I could enter Date; Notes: Account to Debit;
Account to credit and their respective $ amounts. However, if this is an
entry I make frequently I will scroll up to the last time I made a similar
transaction> right click>select "Duplicate Transaction">enter the
date>press OK and I am provided with a new transaction, accounts allocated
and all. But, the $ amount may be different to what I want. So I edit the
Debit and that forces an "Imbalance" entry on the Credit side.
I would like it to mirror my edit on the Credit contra account - assuming
the whole transaction consists of a single Debit line and Credit line,
respectively.
As I say, this is not a major issue in any sense. I was just wondering,
hoping, that there is a switch somewhere to accomplish that rule.

I have the habit of duplicating previous transactions rather than

the whole thing afresh.
It occurs to me that in a simple Debit and Credit entry that it may be
possible to have the contra entry mimic the first amount, either
entered
or
edited.
Not a big problem but a niggle that I have.
Could you explain that in a bit more detail?
