Re: Duplicating Accounts?
Adrien, that was it.I exported the accounts to a CSV. Edited the file, removed all accounts but the one I wanted to duplicate. Edited those account lines with the new name and imported back into GNUCash. BAM! Just what I was after. :) Thanks much!Steve Message: 5 Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 14:38:33 -0600 From: Adrien Monteleone To: "gnucash-user@gnucash.org" Subject: Re: Duplicating Accounts? Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I thought perhaps the route to go would be create a new hierarchy template, but it seems that is not possible, at least from within the software. Then I looked at exporting and importing an account tree, but again, while export is possible, I don't see how to import a partial tree. Best of luck.

Re: Duplicating Accounts?
If you delete a higher level account, you'll get a dialog asking if you want to delete the subs also or transfer them under another account.

I don't know whether you can delete a top level account and all sub accounts in one go or not, if you can then that might be noticeably quicker than re-entering them.

Duplicating Accounts?
I figured out how to do this once before and now for thelife of I cannot remember. I am trying to duplicate an expense account and allof its sub-accounts, with a new name of course, and zero balances. This is not a transfer of funds and I'm not duplicatingtransactions. It is basically a copy of one account hierarchy to a new expenseaccount hierarchy. Anyone remember how to do this without creating a newaccount and eight new sub-accounts?
