Enable multi-user editing
Allow multiple users, in a business to access the database at the same time so that multiple transactions can be entered or updated simultaneously, and do so with remote access capabilites like Terminal Server (Windows) or X-Term sessions (Linux/Unix) .
This is a feature in many commercial programs and this is exactly why many business users of such programs are not using GnuCash.
If GnuCash wants to secure donations from the business community beyond the home or individual operating as a business, this feature will make GnuCash extremely attractive to a market that routinely pays $3,000 to $5,000 for products…316 votesConcurrent multi-user support has been part of our long-term goals for a while now:

Better Budgeting
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700802
Budgeting system similar to YNAB, "You Need A Budget". It needs to carry forward over/under spent on budget category from month to month. I cannot use GNUCASH's budget system.

Check for Updates Automatically
As most of the applications that are available today (including their updates/releases) are distributed online. So most of them have the ability to check for latest stable updates/releases.
Visiting the GnuCash website everytime or requiring to subscribe to the newsletter is not really always viable.
Thus it would be great if GnuCash gets the ability to be able to check for its Updates Automatically at Start Up or periodically (that can be customized by the user).

Create a "Memorized Transaction" feature from autofill data which lists all your payees.
The autofill feature is nice, but it would be good to see a list of all your payees in one place so we could pull transactions from a specific payee, and rename misspellings,etc... Basically a list of payees that we can add or delete from which is generated off autofill...

Support cheques/checks
Cheques are grouped into cheque books. Cheques are written, cashed or void (I made a mistake when writing it, so ripped it up). When all cheques in a book are cashed or void, that book becomes less important to me.
When cheques are written they have a created date of the date they are written (actually there could be two different dates here - the date I wrote it and the date it's for, in case I write a future-dated cheque). They have a cheque number (that relates them to other cheques in the same book), plus a description field…

Add a retirement planning tool
It would be very useful to have an inbuilt retirement planning tool that would:
-Use assets (if approved by user) in developing plan
-allow different assumptions such as inflation rates, ROIs etc.
-Show projected net-worth
-Track progress against set plan
-Allow modeling of variations to plan assumptions1 vote -

Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700801

Allow the database to be secured by way of a password
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700803
The aim is not absolute security but would prevent casual access to the information held. (Windows ACLs go some way towards this but any administrator could view the information.)
If this would be better done by securing the files outside the application, could someone tell me how?181 votes -
option to change a automatic split transaction when entering a new transaction
If i had previously entered a transaction as a split, the next time I enter the transaction it automatically comes up again as the last entered transaction. This is nice in some situations however, do not always want this feature. If have a split one time, I do not necessarily want the same split on the next entry. This seem to be the most irritable with splits, but it may apply to other straight entries as well. Can there be an option to decline the suggesting entry or possibly select a different entry other than what is automatically generated?

I am a new adopter of GnuCash and I must say it is incredible! Thank you for developing! What I want is a future balance predictor
I have entered every bit of my financial life in to gnucash. Since most of my transactions are automated I have entered them in scheduled transactions. It is now 12/30/15. What I would like to see is some sort of feature where I could input date 1/31/16 and see what my asset and liability balances would be at that time once all of my scheduled transactions for that period ran. If you could make that, it would be awesome! Thanks.

Manually change ordering of Transactions
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700804
It would be really helpful if GnuCash had the facility to move transactions before or after a particular transaction of the same day, i.e. to change the ordering manually by some buttons or similar. If time could be mentioned in seconds then we could do that to rearrange the transactions.
But easier would be to have Up and Down arrows to rearrange transactions by just selecting on the arrow and clicking on up or down.
If the moved transaction reaches the beginning or end of the set of the same day's transactions, the transaction date of…103 votesUnfortunately the code implementing this feature eventually never made it into the official releases. So I’m reopening this feature request.

From the EDIT an account window, add ability to add a new account by modifying the fields where needed or changing the Parent Account at the bottom. Add a new button at the bottom called "Create a New Account" using the updated info from the EDIT account window.

Split transaction when importing
GnuCash can already remember which account to use to balance the transaction when importing. I think it is remembered based on the description column. I would like GnuCash to remember if it was a split transaction and if possible the percentage to use. Quicken already does it.

Total return(%) of Advanced Portfolio as XIRR
it would be helpful if TotalReturn(%) in Advanced Portfolio view is implemented using XIRR, so that we can get an annualized return on individual investment and easily compare returns of investments held for any duration.

Configuration Option for Backup Location
It would be nice to have the option to place Gnucash-generated backup files in
a designated folder. This configuration setting might best appear on the same
Preferences tab as the Delete Backup Files preference. The preference pane
could display:
- the active backup folder (defaulting to the data file location),
- a folder selection widget, and
- a Select button to implement the change163 votes -
Improve transaction matching
When importing QFX: does not seem to account for the check number. Matcher does not show check number detail, so if I have multiple checks with the same amount, it's really hard to match things up. Also, if I choose "U+R", it overwrites my check descriptions with generic description from the QFX. Would be nice to just update the date and perhaps amount, if needed, but leave the original description. Also does not seem to want to match to anything older than about 2 months (Someone held the check for awhile.)

Autofill Feature should show a Drop Down List
When i am typing the description currently what happens is that the first matching record is auto-filled. But It would be more helpful if there was a drop down list (with vertical Scroll) with a list of similar records based on words present in them as typed.
For Example: I have the following descriptions previously entered
Amul Milk - Toned
Amul Milk - Double Toned
Amul Milk - Skimmed
Mother Dairy Milk - Full Cream
Sapan Milk - SkimmedWhat happens now is that when i type "Amul" the transaction gets filled with the first match even if have to…
