What the Post date should be depends on how GnuCash is used. That makes this 
more complicated. I first changed it to the date opened because that matched 
my usage (and other users as well because there was an independent bug report 
for this).

Resetting it to today would solve your problem but cause me a lot of 
additional typing and clicking.

So I'm inclined to go with Derek's suggestion to use the last used date as the 
post date.

If that's not acceptable, we may need a preference setting for this because it 
would mean the different use cases need different behaviour for the post date.

What do you think ?
