[GNC] Change account type by editing XML?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Indeed, I clicked Edit on an Asset account and I can only change it to:

Bank
Cash
Asset
Credit Card
Liability

I get the first three if there is going to be a limitation, but allowing the last 2 and not allowing even another debit balanced account like Expenses?

Strange.

I’m starting to wonder if this is a bug. If not, can someone shed light on the reasoning for not being able to refactor accounts except within their current parent type?

Regards,
Adrien
