No, a sub Account. GnuCash isn't Quicken and you need to change your
mindset to get the best results from using it.

As I said, there are several solutions to this scenario, here is another
one that involves recording Notes on Transactions.
Open your "DONATIONS" account and from the main menu and click on View /
Double Line from the main menu.
Every transaction will now show an additional field under the
Description called "Notes". Enter the Charity Name or Code here.
Sub-Accounts are validated at data entry. There is no validation on Notes.
The scenario you adopt will also be influenced by the reporting you wish
to do. Experiment with the Profit & Loss Report, Transaction Report,
and the Find Transaction (Edit / Find or Ctrl-F) functionality.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
This means a sub category for each charity.
Now, if we have c categories and t tags, in Quicken we'd have c*t number of
combination. Creating 1 sub category for each tag under each category will be
tedious. In Stack Exchange, some suggested to use Note or Label. But I could
not seem to find them in the registry. Is that possible?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new to GnuCash. In Quicken, I use Tag a lot. For example, I
create one tag for each charity and set a single category for Donation
and use Tag to track charity. Search yielded discussion in 2017 as
the latest when it's not available. What's the latest status? If not
available, what would be the best way to handle the above example?
Thanks
