[GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Dale,

I didn’t miss it—you didn’t specify it (see below), which is why I asked for ‘how’ you got to that dialog.

I don’t use credit cards and don’t reconcile those types of accounts, so I guess I never see that payment window. (reconciling a cash or checking account doesn’t offer this ‘payment’ option, naturally - so this is a special case for that account type)

I’ll play around with a test book and see what I can figure out.

In the meantime, perhaps someone else who’s more familiar with this workflow has some input...

Regards,
Adrien

Following reconciliation gnucash opens a window to pay the balance due on a date pattern that should have been learned from past payments. Now it seems to sometimes suggest a date which requires a time machine :)
