Hi y'all!

I get so many things from online vendors (Amazon, Microsoft, etc, etc) and they are generally different and going to various different accounts and sometimes they have splits.

I am finding the auto-complete function to be more troublesome than not and I'd like a way to turn it off.  I don't mind it overmuch filling in the account so much as the amount and the splits.  I'd rather have none of it that have the confustion (that's confusion and frustration in a word) caused by the auto-fill.

I, BTW, am loving the software.  I'm sure the setting is in there somewhere, I'm just not finding it.

I'm certainly open to what I'd like the software to do.  I realize this is an open source project and I'm no-longer (as in ancient) in the coding world or I would attempt something myself (I wouldn't mind being able to help out but I'm a Windows and Mainframe assembly guy so no relevant skills I suspect).

Anyway, what I'd like is if the "prior" transaction has splits, then simply leave the whole thing un-populated.  If it doesn't have splits, go ahead and put in the account.  Leave the cursor in the account field and don't fill in anything else (notes, amount, etc).  That would be ideal for me.  Simply turning off the auto-complete is, I expect, a simpler option and probably already there I just don't know where to turn it off.

Thanks all & Blessings!
