You don't need to roll back a reconciliation that is now out of whack. If need be, un-reconcile that transaction split, then re-reconcile. Regards, Adrien On 5/29/24 8:33 AM, Peter Cuthbert via gnucash-user wrote: So final thought for the GNUCash programmers.  Please consider a 'roll back'

GnuCash is supposed to warn you when editing a reconciled transaction that would change the flag. If not, perhaps you turned that message off. Check Actions > Reset Warnings and look for something like "change contents of reconciled split". If it is there, select it and Apply to reset the

If the Memo field is your only criteria, then just use the Transaction Report and use the Filter tab for your Memo text. Note, you'll need to decide which account you are summing on the report though. (likely the same issue with the Account Report) In the case of multiple expense accounts for

GnuCash doesn't magically read your email. You are leaving out a critical part of the workflow in your description. Are you trying to use the Android app that was abandoned years ago by it's developer? GnuCash doesn't support that either, AFAIK, but you might still get some help here on how to

Pete, I don't understand your request. During reconciliation, you need to enter the ending balance from your statement. If, at the end of the process of checking your transaction the computed balance does not match the entered balance, then the reconciliation will not complete. Now, Gnucash
