That is the behavior, sadly, where it goes back to what the original transaction was. It is undesired but it is there and not likely to be fixed.. (I run into it when I want to duplicate the transaction and then just update the quantity)
To get around, you technically have to enter the entire transaction from beginning to end. Work around is to "modify" transaction is to open up the transaction, select first row from split view, go to first column highlight what is in it, copy it to clipboard, delete it, paste it from clipboard (correct as you need to during this paste phase). Rinse-&-repeat for all columns across for all rows in the transaction... you can minimize this by doing cut-&-paste to only the Shares, Buy and Sell columns and let it calculate the Price column. It does get crazy when you have multi-currency enabled and/or are dividend reinvestment transactions ... -----Original Message----- From: Fred Tydeman <tydeman.f...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2024 1:04 AM To: Gnucash Users <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: [GNC] Delete a trading account => crash Running GnuCash 4.14 on Fedora Linux. Due to a mistake on my part, I have two Trading accounts: IVR-PC IVRPRC for the same security. First, I tried changing Trading:IVRPRC to Trading:IVR-PC in a Sell or Buy transaction from the cash account. However, when I pressed Enter, Gnucash undid my change. Then, I tried deleting Trading:IVRPRC account and moving its transactions to Trading: IVR-PC. That crashed Gnucash. I am now running a Check & Repair all (takes many minutes). _______________________________________________ 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.
