Let's take a step back. The idea behind the current reconcile behavior is that you check off the data you have in GnuCash against what's on the statement you receive from your bank. It follows that only data that's actually on your statement can be verified and hence only that data should be "protected" once a transaction is reconciled. This has been discussed a couple of months back and back then it was decided the following information is typically found on a statement to be protected: 1. Transaction date 2. Transaction number 3. Transaction description 4. Transaction amount (which translates in the split amount for the split in the account for which the statement is created). So these fields can be verified and are hence protected by reconciliation. I'll note past discussions on this topic seem to go in all directions. Some people believe more fields should be protected others believe some fields should not be. The above is the current state. I'm open to further discussion on this with a broader audience to get to something that's more generally accepted.
