[GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks David,

Now that you mention it, I vaguely seem to recall this from reading the documentation. (I might retain a bit of info I don’t need from time to time)

Is there anyone who uses this feature (or that programmed it?) who can shed light on the date defaults?

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 :)
