My mortgage payment (say 900.00) is the same each month, but of course every month interest (intamt) is a few cents less and principal (900-intamt) the same few cents more. My scheduled transaction is: Debit: Liabilities:Mortgage Principal 900-intamt Debit: Expenses:Mortgage Interest intamt Credit:Assets:Bank Account 900.00 I would like to be prompted for the interest due when the transaction fires, and then have GC compute the principal as 900.00 minus interest. But GC prompts me twice. Is there some way I've missed for how to use the same variable twice in a scheduled transaction but be prompted for it only once? (I also have a couple of dozen accruals at the end of every month, for instance a debit to Expenses:Fixed Auto Expense and _equal_ credit to Assets:Auto. I'd love th have GC prompt me for each amount so that I wouldn't have to fill them ion in duplicate. The answer to my mortgage question will show the answer to this no-formula question as well, I'm sure.)
