Re: [GNC] Delete a trading account => crash
By mistake, I had two Asset accounts for the same stock, but with different spellings. That is what produced the two similar Trading accounts. So, I ended up doing in the Cash account that did the buys and sells: In split view mode: change the stock asset account from one to the other, press Enter, that got me a popup to adjust the number of shares. Press Enter and all was fixed. Doing that was a lot easier than deleting and re-entering the transactions. When I was done, one stock asset account and one trading account were both empty, so could be deleted. I also deleted the wrong spelling in the Security editor.

Fred, Do you have two commodities IVRPRC and IVR-PC in your book or did you rename IVRPRC to IVR-PC? If the former have you changed all of the accounts that were denominated in IVRPRC to use IVR-PC? Trading splits are deleted and regenerated as part of the transaction balancing code run during transaction commit when trading accounts are enabled in File>Preferences so once you have the account commodities fixed you can edit the transactions with the wrong trading account in some register other than the trading account and delete the trading splits then close the transaction. Deleting the IVRPRC trading account will only work if you renamed the commodity: If you have separate commodities then GnuCash won’t let you transfer the splits because the commodities don’t match. You also need to turn off trading accounts in File>Preferences before you do the delete-and-transfer then turn it back on again. If you have two commodities you need to change all of the accounts using IVRPRC to use IVR-PC then edit every transaction that used IVRPRC, delete the trading splits, and commit it to generate new trading spits in IVR-PC.

Re: [GNC] Delete a trading account => crash
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 Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2024 1:04 AM To: Gnucash Users Subject: [GNC] Delete a trading account => crash Running GnuCash 4.14 on Fedora Linux.
