I totally agree with your entire remarks! Seems like it worked everywhere before (not cash bets!). I have seen the "reverse" when pasting into a card account as well and just figured that was the logic somehow, intended to eventually ask but it was not a big deal. On Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 10:42 PM

Liz, I think the issue really boils down to "what exactly is getting copied and pasted?" I don't know the specifics, but as far as I understand it, a transaction in GnuCash looks unitary to the end user, but actually consists of a strange hybrid: a Transaction entry with (at least) two

Stan, Jack's method should work too. It might give different results depending on whether the cursor is sitting in the new transaction line or on an existing transaction while pasting. I haven't personally tried it. On Thu, Aug 18, 2022, 1:08 PM Jack Slater wrote: > Ya I can try that - if I

I get thoroughly confused when I see all four words debit, credit, deposit and withdrawal in the same sentence. Are you really copying from and pasting to the same account? If so, why not just use the duplicate function. If not, is the target account the same type as the source? Oh, which
