Fred, I can't think of any mechanism, scheduled or otherwise, by which GnuCash would migrate a transaction from one file to another.
At a guess, when you scheduled those transactions you were probably in a different GC data file from the once you meant to be in. That's happened to many of us at one time or another -- GC's behavior of automatically opening the most recently used file is not always our friend. For that reason I have one GC shortcut for each file I use, and since the shortcuts are visibly different I'm less likely to edit the wrong file by mistake. In Windows, and I think in Linux, you can put the desired filename on the command line when opening GC, and it will be opened rather than the most recently used file. That doesn't work in MacOS, unfortunately, according to what Mac users have posted. Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com On 2023-06-04 22:05, Fred Tydeman wrote: > You were correct.
