Thanks for responding. I am clear that I want to have all the entities separate- I thought I had set them up that way, but cannot discern how to access them individually, and that's why I think I might have missed something in the initial set up and that they are combined. -Original

Nope, that “feature” is still intact. The Tutorial & Concepts Guide notes this behavior at 2.3.3. To date, no developer has felt the need to change the behavior of the Description column, as idiosyncratic as it may be. Personally, I’d welcome a change to make this column behave as most users

While I certainly understand the concern that editing a transaction dereconciles it, there are a couple of points I'd raise. First, if you are editing a reconciled transaction, you are probably pretty aware of it (and the dialog message Gnucash puts up should make it obvious). Second, editing

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation flag revision

There is a warning. You get to continue to edit the transaction and thus clear the flag, or cancel and don’t edit the transaction. There is not an option to both edit and not clear the flag. Note, the flag only clears for amounts, accounts, NUM, and I suspect dates, but I didn’t test that last

So... question: If one edits the transaction by changing an account, should that un-reconcile it? Say I make a credit card donation to a business and charge the expense to home repairs.  Then I go back and change it from home repairs to charitable donation.  Should that un-reconcile it?
