Is there a way to set an account's beginning balance AFTER having created it in GnuCash?

[David Carlson]

Bob,

The Opening Balance shortcut that you see when creating an account is not
functional after the account is created, as you have seen.

That shortcut just creates a transaction to offset the opening balance with
an entry in Equity:Opening Balances.  You can open that account and
duplicate any previous  entry changing the transfer account to a different
account to create an opening balance in another account.
