The register layout is currently hard coded, so it's "our way or the highway", sorry. Auto fill works by repeating previous entries so once you've created a transaction for a particular payee in an account you'll get auto-fill for subsequent entries with the same description. You can fiddle that a bit by letting autocomplete fill in based on a partial entry, tabbing through to the debit or credit column and then tabbing back and editing the description to what you want for the current transaction. For example, I like the description of dividend reinvestments to include the number of units as a cross-check. I might have 10/11/2019 Reinvest FMAGX 23.11 Assets:Investments:Fidelity:Magellan Fund251.67 and when it's time to do the next dividend I'll start "Reinvest FMAGX" and let it fill in the 23.11 and tab through so that it fills in the account for me. I'll edit the new value and then back-tab to the description and change the number of units. When I hit enter the transfer dialog will pop up where I'll enter the number of units again. Then when I go to reconcile the FMAGX account if it doesn't reconcile I can check the amount against what I put in the description and if there's a discrepancy it's a good clue about why it doesn't reconcile.

Re: [GNC] Credit Card bill autopay
the easiest way to do that is : 1 - Enter a transactions to your Credit Card with "NO AMOUNT" 2 - Right click to it and make a Schedule 3 - In the Frequency Tab, make it create transaction every months at 1st or 2nd. 4 - In the Overview Tab, choose a Create in advance = 19 days (from 12 to 1st = ~19 days) That it, so every month, about 12, it will create a payment to your credit card with "no amount", you can access to your account and enter the amount you want. I know that it still requires you manually enter your amount, but with this tips, i think it's easiest and best. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
