Unfortunately there isn't enough space in the current data structures
to do what you want. There are three dates stored with a transaction:
Post Date
Entered Date
Reconciled Date
Note that the first two are stored with the TRANSACTION, the
last is stored with each SPLIT in the transaction. The first one
is what appears in the register. The second is not user-settable.
The last is based on the date you set in the Reconcile Dialog.
There is no additional space in the current data structures to
add additional date information, but one could write code to
extend the objects using the KVPs. However this is a -devel
discussion so if you are interested in writing code to do this
you should move the discussion there.
