[GNC] How to automate $ value on the contra account when editing a transaction

[David wasserman]

Okay John, I will try to be clearer.

I am talking about  inputting a new entry into an account.  Say, my bank
account.  So, in the register I could enter Date; Notes: Account to Debit;
Account to credit and their respective $ amounts.  However, if this is an
entry I make frequently I will scroll up to the last time I made a similar
transaction> right click>select  "Duplicate Transaction">enter the
date>press OK and I am provided with a new transaction, accounts allocated
and all.  But, the $ amount may be different to what I want.  So I edit the
Debit and that forces an "Imbalance" entry on the Credit side.

I would like it to mirror my edit on the Credit contra account - assuming
the whole transaction consists of a single Debit line and Credit line,
respectively.

As I say, this is not a major issue in any sense.  I was just wondering,
hoping, that there is a switch somewhere to accomplish that rule.

Regards
Dave W
