In my simple mind, to do autocomplete you are looking up the entered values in a list for a closest match. Seems you could export that list?

It may not be possible to generate the list from within GnuCash, but you could always export the register to Excel and remove the duplicate entries to create your own list. Regards, Jeff.

Autocomplete is great if I am close to spelling the description I want. Otherwise I am just guessing and would like to reuse a previously used description. > > > > Steve > > > > From: Glenn Fowler > Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 4:38 PM > To: Steve Elstad <st...@ngc7331.com> > Cc: GnuCash users group <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> > Subject: Re: [GNC] Description list > > > > Hi Steve, > > > > Your register *is* your list.
