A tidbit of information that you may find helpful: If you hover the mouse over the "y" character in the reconcile box in an account split line, the date of the reconciliation for that account split in that transaction appears in a flyover. It may take a couple of seconds to appear.
Another tidbit: Transactions with multiple accounts or splits reconcile separately for each account, but sometimes editing, unreconciling or deleting in one account can change a reconciliation for another account in that transaction. That isn't supposed to happen but sometimes it does with unusual editing methods, especially if the account name is changed for a reconciled account line. On Tue, May 28, 2024 at 5:21 AM Maf.
