Re: [GNC] Description List
Wait until version 5.2 before doing anything. It will most likely have a different way of sorting descriptions, with recent ones floating to the top. Hence old misspelled descriptions will be less likely to be found near the top of the list and easier to ignore. More recent misspellings are easy to fix in the register. See https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/1625 for the work in progress.

Re: [GNC] Description List
You can't. It is composed of all descriptions entered. If something is spelled incorrectly, you can do a search for transactions that have that misspelling in their description field, then correct them one by one. Once a description no longer appears anywhere, such as a misspelling, it will disappear from the drop down list.

Re: [GNC] Description list
Another approach idea: 1. Find a previous transaction for which you want to repeat a description. (this can be done from the CoA, or from a particular account, such as an expense account) 2. Right-click & Duplicate Transaction 3. Edit the new transaction as desired. Yet another approach: 1. I use 'Description' for people/companies I pay money to, or recieve money from *only*. 2. I put 'description' information in the Notes field. (you need View> Double-Line turned on to see it) 3. I put line-item descriptions in the Memo fields for each split. (use View > Auto-Split or View > Transaction Journal, or the Split button to see them) 4. Now you're 'Descriptions' are much more limited to just Payors/Payees. Your detailed info, still can use auto-complete, but will come up as you type. Additionally, repeating a Payor/Payee, can auto-complete the entire last transaction with them, so some descriptions may carry through automatically. This is particularly helpful for regular transactions that don't change often save maybe for amounts. Regards, Adrien p.s. I agree, it would be nice to see a pull-down to choose from, similar to the account list. Feel free to file an RFE (Request for Enhancement) on Bugzilla. Someone who can code it may agree and implement it. On 6/29/22 6:21 PM, Steve Elstad wrote: Hi, is there a way to create a list of all the items I have used in the Description field?

Re: [GNC] Description list
I suspect what collects in the autocomplete list is generated live as you type, and once you've entered the text in that field, the list is essentially discarded. It's probably not presented to you as an excerpt from a preexisting data file of sequential terms that could be presented to a user in a text file. However, it might be a cool feature to have a certain character sequence the user could type that makes the autocomplete function simply list all possible suggestions in alphabetical order for the user to browse instead of listing the most likely suggestions.

Re: [GNC] Description list
Steve, You could use Edit/Find. Then select Description-Contains-(type in part of the description, can be just one letter) and if you check Match Case it will find any descriptions that match. It will show the same description multiple times however. Obviously, if it is a seldom used description it won't show up that often.

Is there a way to produce a list of all those descriptions that I have used before? 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.
