Hi Adrien,
Thanks for the feedback. I downloaded the latest version of GnuCash 4.11, and
the issue still exists. When I edit an existing payment, the job name appears
where the customer name should appear in the payment dialog. If you try to
remove the job name, you can’t enter or find the cust

I'm assuming you saw the software license for GnuCash which is licensed
under the GNU GPL license. A lot of software licenses are designed to
restrict your freedom with what you can do with the software. GNU promotes
software freedom so you are free to run the program how you wish, free to

James,
If you are not seeing the transactions you have already entered and the
accounts in the account tab it is possible that you have not saved the
datafile. To do this use the File-Save As menu item immediately after starting

Actually you can edit the suggested payment amount, and only “process” a
partial payment. Then you can pay again, using Process Payment, and pay with a
different account for the second payment.

Another observation: the current GnuCash mixes data and display layers.
For a new system, I would suggest separating everything completely. Have a
database and lib layer that interacts with the database. Then expose the
lib to C, Python, C++, Rust, Go, whatever. You can then have a REST layer

I'm going to hazard a guess this is due to the following:

Yes. I see no other way to do this other than directly changing the
