I suspect that this topic comes up about every New Year - perhaps it is
worth putting in a FAQ (if it's not in one), and perhaps posting the FAQ
monthly to this list. In the relatively short time I've been on this list,

I'm sensing a learning opportunity here... GnuCash has templates? I never
noticed that; I only use the templates in the Scheduled Transaction Editor.

That's moving beyond Scheduled Transactions and into a more general case
of Templates. I'm pretty sure I've already filed an RFE for that long ago.
I see Scheduled Transactions as a special use case of Templates, though
Scheduled was implemented first.
The more general Template case is when y
Liz,
Since you asked, I think that is a good idea. We could have both a test
run while editing that did not crash anything if it failed and when looking
at the SX but not editing it, have a button that triggers the creation of
the next instance. That would probably work regardless of the SLR set

I also edit transactions in the middle of reconciliation.

I add correcting/missing transactions all the time while doing a reconciliation
without any problem. They then just appear in the panels of the reconciliation
display once the transaction has been entered. Havn't done it in 5.5 yet though.
WIll be doing so in the next few days so will check
I own a few, but I generally don't use timers.
What should I expect at 90 minutes, and at what point do I start the timer?

Stan,
Scheduled transactions [SX's] are only executed when the Since Last Run
assistant is triggered, and then only when they meet several criteria such
as the calendar date matching the scheduled execution date but the SX is
not postponed or ignored. Some users, like myself, have as many as
hundr
Stan,
I think what they were referring to is that if you don't shutdown and start a
new session, they don't fire automatically. Some people leave Gnucash open for
days or longer. On the calculations, I think, they want them to add together
like they do in a normal register and not have to wait

Thanks all for the discussion. I can rest easy knowing that this is how the SX
editor works. It just took me by surprise...

Jack,
This "log file" discussion seemed to get moved to a stack type of log. There is
another log with GNUCash, which is somewhat unique in that programmers usually
need the stack log (all programming).
The GNUCash data log file is explained in 2.5.2.

I consider the SX to be a graphical form of a script, and so I am not sure
how the editor could detect what is safe to call an expression that could
be evaluated while it is being edited.

It sounds like you are entering new transactions while part way through
performing a reconciliation process.
I suspect that could confuse the reconciliation.

What I meant was it would indeed be nice that the SX Template entry
allowed you to do math like a register does.
I never meant to imply that one could edit the code from within the app!

Was on 5.4 when problems started. Updated to 5.5 and finally slugged my
through doing exactly what you suggested - saving page and then transaction
at a time.

No split. I'll give an exact example:
I entered:
12/3/2023VisaWalmart
+-Expense:Household..(blank).$100
Switched back to reconcile window and saw the original (above) and also:
12/3/2023VisaWalmart
+-Expense:Household-(blank)-
$68
Bingo! Thats me in a nutshell!

Seems doubtful I'm sure but I know for a fact I didn't enter these. More
than once, I made 1 single entry, switched back to the reconcile and saw 2
entries, sometimes with a different amount.

Indeed, I should have tested it prior to commenting.
Apologies for the noise.
At the very least, being able to do math here with a result would be a
good RFE.
I would only expect formulas to remain as formulas if they contain
variables which require a prompt for value.
