There are a couple of old enhancement requests that refer to a "Mortgage
Repayment Druid." Is/was this a wizard of sorts? Does it still exist?
The House Mortgate How-To in the doc's makes no mention of such a thing.
Thanks,

Way back when, computer folks referred to system assistants (such as the new
accounts assistant, or the mortgage setup assistant) as "druids." There was
some obscure reasoning for this. Gnucash originally referred to its assistants

I think it has been renamed to Actions > Scheduled Transactions > Mortgage
& Loan Repayment...? Maybe it has hit a raw nerve with some wizards and
warlords.

In release 2.6.19, which I am still using, it is found in the menu tree in
the location Christopher Lam described. The help manual section for

Note that there is a pull request that adds the ability to use the
current balance of an account in a scheduled transaction.

I will comment, tho, a simple step or incremental improvement like making

I believe some users have backed off of trying to express informed opinions
about program development or documentation development because of various

Geert,
Sorry, it was not my intention to single you out with my comments about how

help users can give short of re-training in the tools that you ar
Hi David, responses inline. I'm sure you know it's my work, and I am (for
now) happy to defend its state. TBH I do not need this report myself, but

In my view it won't come out of experimental anytime soon because of
