[GNC] Scheduled Transactions Question

[David T.]

Hi,

Gnucash 4.13 Windows 10. Long time user.

I am trying out using a variable in a scheduled transaction for the 
first time, and it's not behaving the way I expect. I am creating a 
multi-entry transaction that transfers a single amount between two pairs 
of accounts. in other words:

DB Checking TOTALAMT
CR Asset TOTALAMT
CR Income A TOTALAMT
DB Income B TOTALAMT

[This is testing out how to create a transaction to track an IRA 
distribution]

I expect GnuCash to prompt me for the TOTALAMT figure once when the 
transaction is created, but GnuCash prompts me for *each* TOTALAMT entry 
in the transaction (i.e., four times). Is there a way to have just one 
request that gets assigned four times?
