Also it helps to start the description with "RFE:" which stands for "request for enhancement" to make it easier to search or more obvious this is not a "bug". Because enhancements can take years to implement (if ever) due to time and resource constraints, I feel we lose a lot of valuable feedback in terms of use case and functionality when it is only discussed in the mailing list. It doesn't mean it cannot be discussed here to try to get more users to provide feedback, but then important points or conclusions should be posted as comments in the bug database so that they can be referred to easily even years later. I certainly try to do that with my own comments and see others do as well. As for the 2 ideas in this thread: - the undo feature (beyond the cancel). There is already an RFE for this here https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509267 so it would be good to review what's already there and put new ideas, which can be discussed there or here in the mailing list - the original search and replace. A quick search doesn't return anything. There is a somewhat related one but it's not quite the same https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680764 So possibly creating a new RFE there and try to get people to react to it by posting here on the mailing list?
