DaveC49, Your information is interesting, but it does not restore the behavior that previous releases already had, and the current release lost, as David T pointed out. I think he is saying that in his opinion, it wasn't broke, didn't need fixing. On Mon, May 31, 2021 at 10:24 PM DaveC49

David, I'm not sure why the behaviour has changed, but from a programming prospective, it is much simpler to create the imbalance accounts at the top level. There is no need to search for a location which may be different in every user's CoA. One reason perhaps for keeping it at the top level is

The Imbalance-xxx account will reappear the next time an error is made in balancing a transaction, or if a transaction is intentionally left out of balance to be fixed later, so it is useless to delete the account. I agree with David T that new entries should go to the existing account, even if it

The existence of an Imbalance account means you have an error in a transaction. So you should fix it and empty it.. -derek Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos. On May 31, 2021 10:34:48 AM "D. via gnucash-user" wrote: Hello, I have noticed a new behavior in regards to the
