David, you may be thinking of File » Properties » Accounts » Day
Threshold for Read-Only Transactions (red-line).

I'm not sure why the developers thought it would be a good idea to do
this as a number of days in the past instead of a date in the past, but
they did. It means that if you want, say, to prevent yourself from
accidentally changing something in last year's transactions, or
accidentally entering a new transaction with last year's date, you have
to change the red-line every single day that you use GnuCash.
