Preserve Audit Trail: Option to disable modifying or editing reconciled transactions.
A journal entry should not be changed once it is written. One is supposed to write a correcting entry. This shows the error and the correction clearly. When journals were done by hand with ink pens one could be confident that one had a true record but with digital programs that is not the case. I know most programs allow you to go back, but that damages the audit trail. I'm suggesting a option to disable editing of entered and or reconciled transactions. Additionally one could have an option to show what entries had been changed. Finally one could have…

Add an optional Entry Time field to the
References: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89439, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017
Currently GnuCash stores the entry date by setting it to midnight local time then converting it to timezone Z (which is either UTC or GMT depending on the operating system). Changing timezone to the west will change the entry date to the day before.
This proposal would fix the problem by optionally adding an Entry Time field to the Register, with a default time of 1100Z. That default would maintain the same date for all timezones from New Zealand Daylight Time (Z + 13 Hours) to Z -11. TZ Z-12, which affects very few people, would…

Allow us to remove the num column, as many of us don't use it, so it just takes up space.
Allow us to remove the num column from various screen, as many of us don't use it, so it just takes up space.
Even better: let us choose exactly which columns we want to display. e.g. under 'scheduled transactions', it makes sense to display the amounts involved, instead of having to view each one separately.

Fetch exchange rate once per day rather than for every single transaction
I routinely work in two currencies, and when I enter transactions in the account of the 2nd currency, GnuCash opens the "Transfer Funds/Courrency Transfer" dialogue at every single transaction I input and asks for the exchange rate into the main currency.
It would be a great time saver to have a setting allowing to specify a time interval at which GnuCash asks for this.
i.e. if this is set to 24hrs, then GnuCash would only ask once every day for the exchange rate and then keep using this until the next day.
The interval could also be once per session,…

renaming rules or list
When importing transactions in QFX format, create renaming rules that, once created, automatically change the payee name to a "friendly name" of your choosing, so that when "CITY, ST, 9999, WAL-SAMS Wal Su" comes in, it is always recognized in imported simply as "Walmart"

Add keyboard shortcut for "show/hide hidden accounts" in Accounts view
Currently this takes five mouse clicks: View > Filter By > Other > Show hidden accounts > OK. A shortcut like Ctrl-H would be helpful.

Every entered transaction should have to be balanced
In professional accounting there's no reason for being able to enter a transaction that is not balancing. The standard behaviour of Gnucash should be that a transaction cannot be recorded until it balances.
If the user is not sure how to account a transaction, it's better if the user themselve (sic!) accounts the transaction against a temporary "unbalanced" account. Having Gnucash doing so automatically makes the accounting much more error prone.

Sync android app with desktop
My request is a way to sync the app with the desktop version. I input data via my pc as it is much easier, but then I would like to sync my app to the desktop versoon so I can quickly check balances. As gnu cash lacks such a sync feature, I would switch to a different app if not for gnucash being the only app with sub accounts

Lock an account
Simple request. Should be able to right click an account -> Edit Account, and have a checkbox next to "Hidden" called "Lock".
The account and all transactional data within the account would still be viewable, but no new postings would be allowed. I've used account locking frequently in my company with SAP.
Visually, perhaps the account could be greyed out? I'm thinking the VBA equivalent of .Enabled = False (using this as an example since I'm familiar with VBA).

Please add "Balance" account type which are "Asset" if the balance is positive and "Liability" if negative
Sometimes not easy decide that the account type is asset or liablity. For example: you pay the bills for the rent - and sometimes pay before deadline, sometimes after. If you have a down payment it is "asset", it you paid later, it is "liablility".
Furthermore, I use gnucash to check the balace with my friends.
Sometimes They buy something to me, sometimes I buy something to them. Now I use one "personal" account with two subaccount (asset and liablility), and sometimes I compensate the balace - it not so easy to handle.
If you can add a "Balance" type…8 votes -
Not sound the error beep for every little thing
GNU Cash (running on Win10) keeps beeping on every little thing that is done for one's convenience. For example, if I hold down the backspace key to delete everything until the cursor hits the left edge, GNU Cash gives an error beep after the cursor hits the left edge. Or if the left or right arrow keys are kept depressed to reach the beginning or end of a line.
Error beeps get annoying for somethings that the user understands he/she is doing on purpose (this is done all the time in other programs).
Error beep should be reserved only for…

Make Account code searchable
This has been useful in traditional accounting when there is a large number of accounts with complex structure and sometimes similar names. The fully qualified account name becomes too long for such big books
- make account code unique
- make account code one of the search parameters when looking for an account
- entering the account code suggest the corresponding account when entering into the transaction

Better sorting of scheduled transaction
Currently, scheduled trx editor sorts by next booking, even including non-active trx. I suggest that:
- Non-active trx are moved to the end of the list.
- Sorting order is saved (in the sense of e.g. alphabetcially descending)The second item would be more important to me, but the first one is a nuissance too. Most of my inactive trx are quite old, so the "next transaction" is way in the past and therefore much earlier than any active trx, resulting in a long list of inactive trx, before I get to anything relevant.
Alternatively, I would suggest to allow…

Make recent files unique
I really believe it would be better if the Recent Files list was unique and did not show the same file repeatedly.

Allow pasting of passwords for Online Account Actions (HBCI)
In preor versions credentials could be pasted in the confirmation dialogs. This feature made it convenient for the use of password managing programs which store secure passwords. Having to enter a password manually discurages the user to use secure passwords for their online accounts.

Resizing columns should follow common standards
When you want to change the width of columns, you will discover GNUCashs unusual approach: When dragging a middle columns supposedly wider, the extra space gets allocated to the last column instead.
GNUCash should follow th standards used e.g. in EXCEL or CALC.
