David, I would be happy with just changed amounts.  Phone bills, cable bills, subscriptions all adjust upward in random ways at random times due to the designed in inflation of our economy, plus newly invented or rescinded taxes and fees.  Wrong first take -- I cannot imagine being able to

The OP referenced an adjustment for inflation, so it seems like simply upping various amounts. Hence my suggestion to leave the template with the current amounts, and add a variable multiplier which will be prompted by GnuCash. But that suggestion didn't take into account creating

Ok David so what are you changing on your template that you want to update to your already created txns ? Is it just a changed amount, are you adding further splits, making significant changes ? A bit roundabout but this is how I would handle the situation of a significant change to a template

David, Are these still just scheduled or are they created and in the registers, but simply dated in the future? If they are still scheduled but not created, then changing the template will alter them when they do fire. If they are already created, there is no solution but individual manual

You can't. They are already created. The solution is don't create them in advance. Otherwise, you are left with the tedium of manually editing each one individually. I doubt the result of an SX has any link or record at all that it was created that way, much less has any tie to the template

I understood the OP referenced already created future transactions. No matter what, those have to be manually and individually edited because they were already created. I can't imagine an auto-updating template being implemented. The solution would be to use a variable, and then not have

Yes, when editing the template and there are future transactions matching the old template, I want it to ask me if I want to update the pre-scheduled old matching future transactions to match the new template. On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 02:07:36 AM EST, David H wrote: I honk

You can use variables, thus if you alter your templates to use an inflation multiplier, you future proof the template. GnuCash will prompt you for that variable value each time the SX fires. Simply enter your new multiplier as desired. Regards, Adrien On 1/16/24 5:18 PM, David G. Pickett via
