Please do not reply to a message when you have a new topic: Start from with a new one. When you do reply to a message in a digest please trim out all but the one message you're replying to and change the subject of your reply to the subject of that one message. It's a major pain to figure out

In my simple mind, to do autocomplete you are looking up the entered values in a list for a closest match. Seems you could export that list? Steve -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Jeff Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 5:16 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re:

Thanks for that, as a workaround I have done a search and iterated on that to get a pseudo list. Was clunky and didn't end up with what I wanted. Steve -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Jeff Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 5:16 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject:

Steve, I should have mentioned that if you are in a particular register, it will only look in that register. If you are in the accounts (CoA) it will find it in any register. Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam gmccol...@live.com email

Thanks, that is interesting. I migrated from Quicken end of last year and it is one of the things I got used to with Quicken and can't find an analog with GnuCash. Overall GnuCash has been wonderful, and my workflow is more efficient for my needs. Steve From: Gyle McCollam Sent:

Hi Steve, That's a great idea, and one that I wish was there, as it's always those seldom used ones that you can't remember what you typed it as. It may not be possible to generate the list from within GnuCash, but you could always export the register to Excel and remove the duplicate

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

Thanks for that. 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. Steve From: Glenn Fowler

Hi Steve, Your register *is* your list. Auto-complete just matches previous entries as type. On Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 7:21 PM Steve Elstad wrote: > Hi, is there a way to create a list of all the items I have used in the > Description field? The autocompletion works if I remember the

Hi, is there a way to create a list of all the items I have used in the Description field? The autocompletion works if I remember the description correctly. Would like to see a list for those rarely used ones. In the Transfer field there is a pull down list of accounts. Thanks,
