That might be what I was thinking of. It is about the triggering of the message, but not the vagueness of the message itself. I should think those two are separate issues. Regards, Adrien On 12/9/20 3:35 PM, Tommy Trussell wrote: Bug 686051 ?

Hi, Before I respond inline below, I just want to point out that GnuCash is not a calendaring system. If you want to remember things like your Boss' birthday or Valentine's day, there are much better tools (like your calendar!) to do that. So use those tools for those kinds of reminders.
