Blair, That would be true if these were both the same action, but they are not. The status change on the Transaction Detail allows you to change the status completely. You are going from one status, cleared, to another status, pending. The context menu gives you direct access to each flag and you are basically toggling a flag on and off so you can turn on and off pending or reconciled without losing the cleared status. If I didn't do this then when you toggled pending, what would it toggle back to? Open? But what if it was a downloaded transaction, shouldn't it toggle back to cleared? The cleared flag is a special case because it also signifies that you imported or downloaded this transaction and I don't want to clear this flag unless the user specifically sets the open status in the transaction detail. I spent a lot of time making sure this flow is correct and I'm pretty sure it's spot on. Thanks for the dialog though.
