Many thanks Adrien. I will go to bugs.gnucash.org and take a look at how to submit my experience.

I'd say this is a bug, as the expected result would be to have the reconcile status of sub-accounts updated. You should file that on bugs.gnucash.org It *might* be designed that way however. I could be wrong, but I think the idea for this feature is to be used for 'virtual' sub-accounts that are used for segregating funds in your own books, but not actual multiple real-world accounts with an institution. The parent is the real account in such a case, so that might be why it is the only one marked reconciled with a date. (it is the only one with a statement to reconcile against) In your case, you seem to be trying to reconcile multiple real accounts through a placeholder parent. But GnuCash doesn't know that. (or 'reconciling' non-institution accounts, such as Expenses.) Until it is 'fixed' or changed, I guess your option is to continue to reconcile-finish the sub-accounts to update them, or else just reconcile them all individually rather than together as sub-accounts.

I just wondered if I was doing something wrong again. ------------------------------------------------ If this email has been sent to you in error please delete it and accept my apologies Company number: 4324700 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
