Hello all, this is a very late answer to the mail below.
Actually I also had this problem of bulk operations in gnucash before. Somewhen in 2017 I found a solution in the nowadays outdated gnucash-fiximports project: https://github.com/sandeepmukherjee/gnucash-fiximports/tree/master Perhaps the existence of this project was also the reason for the question of bulk operation not reappearing anymore since then. This fiximports software worked for me quite a while and I enhanced it with some nice features that I never merged into the project software however. Because this software is based on gnucash and gnucash is not maintained anymore, I had to solve this somehow for me and I decided to migrate the enhanced software to a piecash based version: https://github.com/uscw/piecash-fiximports/tree/main Please have a look. Comments and testing feedback will be appreciated! ---------------- [GNC] bulk operations? *Weiwu Zhang* a at colourful.land <mailto:gnucash-user%40gnucash.org?Subject=Re:%20Re%3A%20%5BGNC%5D%20bulk%20operations%3F&In-Reply-To=%3C010801763f3874ad-3784bf80-e1aa-45d9-a81d-8bd9cadbcaab-000000%40ap-southeast-2.amazonses.com%3E> /Mon Dec 7 17:00:33 EST 2020/ * Previous message (by thread): [GNC] [GNC-dev] [MAINT] Planned server reboot Monday, Dec 7, 8:00pm US/EST <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/094281.html> * Next message (by thread): [GNC] bulk operations? <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/094267.html> * *Messages sorted by:* [ date ] <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/date.html#94266> [ thread ] <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/thread.html#94266> [ subject ] <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/subject.html#94266> [ author ] <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-December/author.html#94266> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This issue comes up regularly with new users. The short answer to the question is, "no, there is not a bulk edit." Instead of discouraging people to ask this because it's already discussed and some suggestions are already archived, I feel starting the conversation again is the only way to call out the importance of this feature so we might have a formal solution that we can put into the document section. Gnucash cuts into the prosumer market where users do need such "advanced" features. In fact I'm a bit disheartened that this question stopped reappearing sincer 2017. Previously it showed up roughly yearly. It might be a sign that there are less new users discovering gnucash, instead of people being more mature and stopped asking without searching into the archives. The following is just an exmaple in 2017, the last year people still asked for this. On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 8:07, Eric Theise<erictheise at gmail.com> wrote:
