I never enter anything in that field anyway.  After setting up the
accounts, I then enter an initial transaction that sets all the opening
balances.  That way, I can modify that transaction later if the balances
are wrong, or if I add a new account that needs an opening balance.

For some accounts, the opening balance should be zero anyway!  Like
opening a new CD, you would then transfer money into the CD from some
other account.
