I'll simply chime in to confirm David's reply and Richard's observation. The "all or nothing" approach here is counterintuitive and unhelpful. I've generally avoided using variable based scheduled transactions for this reason. It's another of GnuCash's features (like lots) that I've decided is better in concept than in execution.
