I have set up some accounts as Liabilities and want to change them to Income. 
This can’t be done by deleting the accounts and transferring the transactions 
to another account because only Liability Accounts are offered as alternative 
destinations.

I would like to export the transactions to CSV, edit the Liability Account 
references to make them refer to Income, and import the resulting CSV.

Let’s say I have the following accounts:

L:A:B
L:C:D

I use File—>Export—>Export Transactions to CSV, and select the accounts in 
L:A:B (ignoring L:C:D). GC highlights the appropriate accounts in blue and 
leaves the unwanted ones.

The resulting CSV file ignores B, including only transactions in L:A, and not 
L:A’s sub-accounts.

If I select the whole L tree, the resulting CSV file is complete.

Obviously, I can edit out the unwanted transactions, and then adjust the 
destination accounts before I import the result, but I don’t think I should 
need to do it this way.

Am I misunderstanding something, or have I uncovered an "undesirable feature" 
of the "Export Transactions to CSV" process?

Regards,

Michael
