A better URL for that RFE bug report is 
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798780>.

...and Bug 798780 now has Status: "RESOLVED INVALID".

Others may go looking for a way to schedule transactions on the n-th 
weekday, and find this bug report. So, I added a comment that a) GnuCash 
already has this feature, and b) here is how to use it.

The GnuCash Help, Sections 6.14. "Edit Scheduled Transaction Window" and 
6.13. "Scheduling Transactions", ought to describe the capability of 
scheduling transactions for the n-th week of a month, but they don't. If 
anyone wants to add a description of the feature to those sections, my 
text in Bug 798780 might be a helpful building block.

Best regards,
