Sorry I was not clear on my requirement. I want a Classification field which is attached to an account. This could be an "owner", so while we have a single Parent Bank account, and 2 accounts of me and my wife below it, I need something to tag these accounts. That way, when I run a report, I will be able to segregate these accounts.
Other option is to have a separate hierarchy, but that just increases the number of accounts. In general, can we add any custom fields at all to the tables / forms ? I work for an ERP Software company and this is a fairly standard feature across such packages. Thank you all for your response. It has been really heartening to see all of you responding. By the way, I am very happy with Gnucash features - it is a very feature rich system. The Get Quotes works intermittently, but that is something I can put up with.
