I apologize if I missed it. Are you trying to eliminate multiple splits? (For example, I might have recently bought business supplies as well as groceries at WalDepotMart, so when I enter "WalDepotMart" into the description the next time, it carries over the multiple splits from the earlier transaction, which obviously aren't the same the next time I'm just buying groceries.) The long-standing "built-in" function for overriding AutoCompleted entries in a multi-split transaction is Transaction --> Remove Other Splits Some folks on this list have indicated they bound that function to a key so all they have to do is press <ctrl>-M (or whatever) to automatically invoke that function without taking their hands off the keyboard. If Remove Other Splits does not do what you need, maybe it would help to describe more precisely what you are doing, what happens to the new transaction when it autocompletes, and what you would want to happen instead. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] 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.
