Yea, I tried that, thinking the same. It didn't work. One of the assets it presented was in a different tree. I added a 'test' account there and it didn't show, then moved that test account to the same branch as the account I was trying to delete, still no joy. ~mark petryk ~w:http://www.lo

Hi, I admit I have not used the function, but my recollection is that it only lets you roll it up into a parent account -- so if you want to choose a specific account you need to re-parent the account-to-be-deleted under the account you want to move the transactions into, and then when you delete

I'm curious what your account tree looks like. I just tried to delete an account, and it only shows a couple of my other asset accounts. I created a 'test' account, and even that didn't show up... interesting. Never used that before, not sure what's expected of it. ~mark petryk ~w:http://ww

I'm on Flathub 5.4.1, on Xubuntu 22.04 (xml db). I tried to delete a closed checking acct, and move the transactions to another checking acct. When in the "Delete Acct" dialog box, I get the button to move transactions to another acct, and GnuCash offers another asset acct - but not the one
