Re: [GNC] Variables in Scheduled transactions

2023-01-07 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Glad to hear you got it squared away. I'm not sure if this has to do with my SX preferences, but I no longer get a pop-up window for variables. There is an entry field in the Since Last Run dialog to enter them. (which I have to Tab out of to commit) That may have been implemented after 2.6.19

Update -- 2.6.19 does prompt only once per variable, after all. I thought it did, because, when the transaction fires, the UI for prompting for an amount and accepting is pretty confusing (to me, anyway). I entered the amount and clicked the OK button, but was immediately prompted again for the sa

Is this just a one-off? I'd just enter the transaction. If it is complicated and you already have an instance in a register, duplicate it. If it hasn't ever occurred, and you don't want to manually enter it, edit to run today, click Actions > Since Last Run to fire it off, then edit to revert
