[GNC] Is there any way to remove all-filling the date?

[Derek Atkins]

GnuCash will always re-select the last date you used to create a new
transaction.  So if you are entering multiple transactions, when you open
the register it will default to today.. Change that to 6 months ago and
enter the transaction.  Then the *next* transaction (in that register)
will default to that same date 6 months ago...

If you close the register, then you'll lose that.

The date does not carry over into another register.

However, how many registers do you really NEED to open?  If you enter them
from your asset or liability accounts, you don't need to open many.
