*Subject: Re: [GNC] How is "auto asset transfer" used in an asset
account?Andrew You may find some information in this section of the GnuCash
guidehttps://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_invest.html

Cousens*

Hi David, Looked around, didn't see anything.  I also tried a google search
with the operand "site:gnucash.org" but that didn't reveal anything
either.  Appreciate your input though.  Maybe this is just something new
that hasn't been documented yet.
