I rebooted my system just now; that seems to have done the trick. If GnuCash was still running while you made the changes in *.gcm, that would indeed have no effect. GnuCash reads the information only when your book is opened and will overwrite it when the book is closed or when you run save. So if you made any changes in the gcm file while your book is open these changes would be overwritten the moment you close your book.

Re: [GNC] Register layout
John, this may be a silly question but GC keeps track of register column widths from session to session after they are changed. Where does that information get saved? I thought it might be in books.gcm but I'm not so sure.

The register layout is currently hard coded, so it's "our way or the highway", sorry. Auto fill works by repeating previous entries so once you've created a transaction for a particular payee in an account you'll get auto-fill for subsequent entries with the same description. You can fiddle that a bit by letting autocomplete fill in based on a partial entry, tabbing through to the debit or credit column and then tabbing back and editing the description to what you want for the current transaction. For example, I like the description of dividend reinvestments to include the number of units as a cross-check. I might have 10/11/2019 Reinvest FMAGX 23.11 Assets:Investments:Fidelity:Magellan Fund251.67 and when it's time to do the next dividend I'll start "Reinvest FMAGX" and let it fill in the 23.11 and tab through so that it fills in the account for me. I'll edit the new value and then back-tab to the description and change the number of units. When I hit enter the transfer dialog will pop up where I'll enter the number of units again. Then when I go to reconcile the FMAGX account if it doesn't reconcile I can check the amount against what I put in the description and if there's a discrepancy it's a good clue about why it doesn't reconcile.

[GNC] Register layout
How do I re-arrange the layout of the check register to my liking? How do I get auto-fill for the payee?
