Yep, I was composing a reply on this and just missed this. Note, my Statusbar isn’t showing this for some reason. I can’t seem to create a condition when viewing a register where a field in a transaction is not in focus. Therefore the info I see in that bar, doesn’t change and is the info tip for that field. > >> But I suggest to change the menu entry.

I agree. I forgot about File Associations. But here’s a problem - the Action field is displayed in that line for Basic View, but for each split in Auto-Split or Transaction Journal views. (maybe that is what the ‘expanded transaction’ reference was for - but only for the Action field) In Basic View, you can edit this Action field, but in the other two views, you have to edit them in each split. If in Auto-Split view, that field is visible, but it is display only.
