[GNC] Copy Scheduled Transaction

Unfortunately using splits and creating a  scheduled transaction from that doesn't help in my situation. Since my final scheduled transaction involves variables and math, none of that can be reproduced without being able to actually copy the original scheduled transaction. Based on the responses so far, that is not currently an available option in gnucash. So I guess the real answer to my OP is no.Sent from Samsung tablet

Technically, they’re all related to each other anyway. If a single real world event happens, recording it in various pairs of debits and credits is just an artificial division. A case can be made that it really is a single transaction.If one really needs to see the debits and credits in pairs, you could use some sort of tagging or prefix system in the memo field, or use the Action field of each if not otherwise needed.So you could have something like:Action	Memo		Account	Debit	CreditA	Something	xxx	100B	Else		yyy	50A	Another		zzz		100B	Thing		aaa		50Regards,Adrien> On Apr 6, 2020 w15d97, at 10:40 AM, Stan Brown <the_stan_brown at fastmail.fm> wrote:> > On 2020-04-06 07:20, Adrien Monteleone wrote:>> You can have as many splits as you like.
