I just switched from my usual Transaction Journal to Basic. (I always have Double Line mode on)
I was able to enter a date, NUM, and description, then I clicked in the amount box (skipping over the ’transfer’ field) and entered an amount. I then hit the split *button* and assigned the second split to an account and committed the transaction. (first split defaulted to the current account) So you *can* enter an amount here as you found out. But I wasn’t able to trigger a crash like the OP, though I am using MacOS Mojave and not Win10. (also with 3.6, so 3.5< behavior might be different) Regards, Adrien > On Aug 1, 2019, at 7:43 PM, David Cousens <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi John, > > I did have both the Autosplit ledger and the Double Line options selected > however the sequence of operations for creating a transaction is much the > same with the Basic Ledger selected along with Double-line mode.
