Yes, I've seen that error when I attempt to delete the split from the account where it shows up. However, this was in the scheduled transaction editor that I almost certainly made from the checkbook account... My scheduled transaction was a 4-way split: The amount coming out of the checking accou

Yes but why does it matter when you are in the Scheduled Txn Editor and not a Transaction Register for either of the split lines ? And no it doesn't make a difference if you just manually create the scheduled txn versus right clicking on an existing txn and scheduling it. Cheers David H. On Sat,

Verifying this behavior R Losey reported using GnuCash 5.9 on Windows 11. Also the "anchor" is not very strong, as I changed the split account that was supposedly anchoring the scheduled transaction, and then I could delete the split. I would consider this a bug. It's definitely not a feature,

I experience this in normal transactions as well. To your point regarding the strength of the anchor, I've found that clearing the fields in the split and tabbing off the end will allow you to delete that same split without raising the error. ⁣David T. ​ On Nov 2, 2024, 12:46 AM, at 12:46 AM,

I think you can accomplish this using the Transaction Report and adjusting the settings accordingly. Have you tried that? There is also the report that is available when you are in the register in question (I'm forgetting its name)... ⁣David T. ​ On Nov 2, 2024, 8:52 AM, at 8:52 AM, Megan Tille

That same 'problem' arises when attempting to delete the 'anchor' split line in a register window. I think the 'anchor' split line is always defined as being associated with the current register, but if there is more than one split line linked to that register, which split is the anchor? Is this

Richard, I can confirm the same thing happens on Win 10 Gnucash 5.9 and if you try it more than once on more than one scheduled txn Gnucash will crash :-) I think from memory I've handled this situation in the past by right clicking on the modified txn in the actual register and scheduling it aga
