I'm not sure why that would happen. I just added an Equity account with
no issue.
Let's be sure we're discussing the same thing.
At initially creating a new book with the opening Wizard, you should
have in the Accounts tab:
Equity
Equity:Opening Balances
If you double-click the Opening Balances account line, it should open a
register with your various opening balance transactions. They should all
be editable. You can also add more or delete some if needed. (You do
this *in the register* for the Opening Balances account, *not* via
'Edit' on an account. The opening balance transaction for any account is
usually the first one. You can also edit it from those registers.)
From that same Accounts tab, if you select (single click):
Equity
(the parent account)
Then click the New button on the toolbar, you will be in the New Account
dialog, with Equity already chosen as the parent of the new account.
(you can change that if you want to)
Simply finish creating the new account as desired. You can then open the
register for that account to enter transactions.
Regards,
Adrien
