Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
That peach colored area threw me as well; it is the main difference between the editor and a register. That was what I referred to earlier. Glad you got it figured out.

Using 2.6.17 on Windows, I did this: - go to SX Editor - pick a random SX - adjust its "frequency" so it appears now due - go to the "template" tab - left-click on a random split under "Num" (this selects the split, and the column heading changes to "Action") - left-click on the button in the "Action" field (this produces the dropdown list of Actions) - pick a random Action from the list - hit "Enter" to confirm the change - "OK" - Actions->Scheduled Transactions->Since Last Run - go to one of the registers affected by the new txn - open Split view on the new txn - observe that the selected Action is indeed present This works exactly as I would expect it to work. It also lets me type arbitrary text into the Action, and that also shows up in the generated txn. ___ 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.

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
OK Andrew, I think I understand now - you are referring to the Action field when you click on a "split" line of a transaction you're editing.in the Scheduled Transaction editor - not something I use or have really noticed to be frank :-) I guess you're saying that like the notes field in bug 776564 that you mentioned if you enter a select a value in the drop down list it's not being copied to the final transaction created by the scheduled transaction function.?

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
Andrew, I believe that you and I are talking about the same field, and that you are NOT talking about the Actions menu, which Dave H. was talking about. I specifically said the action field in a _transaction_; whether that transaction is in a register or the transaction editor should be, I believe, immaterial. If there is a behavioral difference between them, that would be an issue. That was why I asked you what specific steps you were taking to arrive at this conclusion, to see if the problem can be reproduced. Again, taking into account that I don't use scheduled transactions much, I do recall that the transaction editor is slightly different from a normal register, and that there is an extra line that is not present in a normal register. That confused me the few times I tried to edit transactions there. I should add that the devs say they prefer noting enhancements either in Bugzilla or on Uservoice, precisely because requests on the lists get lost. I'm not sure there is a clear delineation of when to use which. Cheers, David On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 7:55, aegross wrote: GnuCash - User mailing list wrote > the Action field in a given transaction.

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
Hi, I don't use scheduled transactions much. I also don't know what Andrew is referring to. Dave seems to think it's the menu for actions, but Andrew's last message suggests he is talking about the Action field in a given transaction. A little more clarity will help here. If it is the field, explain specifically what you are trying, what exactly you expect, and what exactly you see. As for the question about enhancement requests, they certainly can go in Bugzilla, but it is wise first to be sure you have a good sense of what you want and why (and how GnuCash fails to meet that), as there are few extra developer cycles for edge cases. I'm not saying such requests fall on deaf ears, just that the devs are busy with some major overhauls.

I don't think the Action menu changed for the Scheduled Transactions from 2.6.16 to 2.6.17 but I could be wrong.

Dave H wrote > As far as I'm concerned on Windows 10 it displays a subset of menu items > that relate to the Scheduled Transactions which is all I care about when > I'm in the Scheduled Transaction editor :-) Dave, I am using Mac OS X, GC v2.6.16. Perhaps the editor was updated in the current version (v.17) to allow changes. In v.16 the editor does not allow any changes in the ACTIONS field. I will upgrade my GC shortly and try again. But more than the specific feature, I was trying to get a feel for whether Bugzilla should be used for requesting enhancements. I often see enhancements requested via email, but that seems sort of chaotic and puts it on the development staff to cull requests.

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
As far as I'm concerned on Windows 10 it displays a subset of menu items that relate to the Scheduled Transactions which is all I care about when I'm in the Scheduled Transaction editor :-) You'll find different Action menu items depending on whether the Accounts tab has the focus or one of the other register tabs has focus - the menu items are different for each scenario. If I want to use any of the other Action menu options which in my case is it's a simple click on one of the other tabs to use that functionality which seems more appropriate. What are you lacking that you want all the other items displayed in the Action Menu ? . Cheers Dave H.

Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla
The scheduled transactions editor does not include the (menu) functionality of the ACTIONS field. The ACTIONS field cannot be manually used either in the editor. Would it be appropriate to request an enhancement to bring the ACTIONS menu to the editor via bugzilla?
