For  me the parent placeholder account in GnC is the bank account that is being reconciled.  The sub-accounts in GnC are just my way of delegating the funds within that account for certain  purposes. I'm not sure about the use case of using the placeholder as a grand total for all accounts hel

Thanks for the details. I'd say this is a bug, as the expected result would be to have the reconcile status of sub-accounts updated. You should file that on bugs.gnucash.org It *might* be designed that way however. I could be wrong, but I think the idea for this feature is to be used for 'vi

Ah, scratch that last question. I see you've put in the chart which accounts show a reconciled date and it appears sub-accounts never do when using that option. In that case, yes, I think you found a bug. Please file it. The instructions are here on the wiki if you aren't familiar with the pr

What account *exactly* are you selecting that is a placeholder? It sounds like you're trying to reconcile a very top-level account and then including sub-accounts. If so, I don't think that is how the feature was intended to work. (though maybe it *could* regardless, I honestly never thought
