How to modify many transactions at once
I'm just starting out with gnucash and I've imported a large number of bank transaction records. I now have hundreds of imbalance notices that I'd like to correct. Whoops. Many of my transactions are scheduled payments, so I can easily discover them with a find. Is there a way in which I can transform a batch of transactions? I'd like to locate the transactions then move all of them to an account. Is this possible? Can it be scripted? thanks, Malcolm ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

(try to delete an account and GC will offer to assign all the affected transaction splits to an alternative account) any scripting method would be unsupported by the Dev team, if it was even possible. Your best bet might be to restore a backup file from before the import, run it again and do better matching as you go - or import in small chunks. I don't import, but I understand that transaction mappings can be learned by GC.

These imbalances imply that you did not assign correct Income/Expense accounts during your import process. The importer is the only place you can "mass assign" transactions. So I suggest you start over and re-do the imports, and be sure to assign the transactions this time around. > Many of my transactions are scheduled payments, so I can easily > discover them with a find.
