[GNC] Error when editing transfer for transaction

[William Prescott]

Sounds like a nice enhancement to have, but I would not be too sure about the "It shouldn't be too much work". Without looking at the code, I don't see how anyone could say how much work it would be. Seemingly small changes often can require lots of code to implement. It all depends on how that particular bit of information is derived.

Can I make a plea for a very welcome enhancement?

Instead of "in another register", name the register, e.,g. "in the Cash
and Banks register".  It shouldn't be too much work, and would make
things a lot easier for users.
