Allow for accumulating split transactions involving multiple charges to the same account
I'd like for there to be an option to allow for accumulating split transactions containing multiple charges to the same account into a single transaction, rather than displaying as many transactions as there are splits pertaining to that given account. The Transaction Journal view does this by default.
For instance, I often purchase more than one thing at a time from Amazon. In these instances, I find it more convenient (and logical) to record that purchase as a single split transaction (with one split per item) rather than many regular transactions, especially in cases when I had to expend a…

vendor account numbers
In Vendor setup allow for an account number.
If you do business often with a vendor you have an account number. This should be stored with the vendor information and appear automatically on an new bill when that vendor is called up. It should also appear on any payment made to that vendor.1 vote -
Make description and memo switchable in get online transactions
When doing a "get transactions" in the online menu, then the value the bank transmits in the purpose-field is set as the description-field of the resulting transaction.
It would make much more sense, if it instead would be written into the memo-field of the corresponding split (since on another bank account, the same transaction gets another purpose field).
At least it would be nice, if the user had the choice in which of the fields he wants the entry to be written.
Personally I prefer a simple and clear text in the description field, while the value from my bank…3 votes -

Provide additional choices in the "Action" box.
Choices that I believe would be helpful are the following: Charge (for example, on a credit card account), Credit (already provided), Payment (for example, by check), Receipt, Deposit (such as a non-ATM deposit or a direct deposit to one's checking account), Withdrawal, Transfer In, Transfer Out, Auto Debit (for example, a utility company automatically debiting one's checking account for a monthly utility bill), and Bill Pay (using a bank's bill-pay service to pay bills rather than writing a check for this purpose).

Add user levels to control access to features/funds/reports (username/password), to control access to features, rather than to protect from
Add username/password authentication to provide for multiple users to have different levels of access. Not so much for data encryption, but for separation. This would also work for multiple family members using the same computer.

Support for templates of national accounting systems
The possibility to create/allow the users to create a template according to the national accounting system from his/her country, with account codes and names - so that each user doesn't have to create hundreds of accounts manually, having the possibility to use that template from start. Unfourtunately, it would have to be somehow updateable...

calculate sales tax in auto fill
Most transactions I enter are
Cash: -X
Taxes:payed: X19%
Expenses:ABC19%: X81%or
Bank: X
Taxes:received: -X19%
Income:jobA19%: -X81%having to use the calculator for every single line on your account statement and every piece of paper taxes twice as much time as entering that number and the first characters of the description.
I could do my monthly tax statements in 1/3 the time if it would remember Expenses:ABC19% and Income:jobA19% to be linked to a given tax value.1 vote -
Provide a built-in accounting calculator
Provide a 'printer calculator', like a simulator of one of these (http://static1.evermotion.org/files/model_images/3e3da420fb324780b21020125fa04ec9.jpg) so that you can print out calculations and attach them to transactions.

Provide for automatic correction when amounts are recorded incorrectly as debits or credits.
Whenever a transaction is recorded in the "Action" box as a particular type, such as "Charge" or "Credit" on a credit card account, program GnuCash so that the amount of the charge or credit must be placed in the correct column. For example, whenever an entry is for a charge to a credit card account, do not allow the amount of the charge to be incorrectly entered in the "Debit" column.

more web interface for report for easy navigation
This idea focus on "navigation" between different reports
Currently, to do a report, we have to click the menu, move your mouse, click again because menu is closedsuppose i want to open multiple reports, it could be a lot easier to see a navigation menu in report page. left clicking it navigate to thew new report in current tab, without having to close an "old" tab.
shift+left click or middle clicking the link/button open a new tab without focusing it3 votes -
need to be able to attach a bank, cash, or credit card transaction to a customer or job as billable
A bill can be used, but this is very clumsy. An expense should be able to be marked as billable.

Add a warning, if a booking is in a placeholder account.
Placeholder account typically have no bookings. If they do, they should generate a warning.
I'm not sure yet, were the warning should appear and when, but open for discussion. I think I would not be sufficient to only do this when a booking actually happens (is this even possible? Never tried). For me this usually happens, when I create subaccounts and have forgotten to reallocate all bookings properly.
I guess, the warning could be made optional.

Total by period column in budget
The budget feature already includes a total column on the right for the year end total of that account.
I would like to see a total row at the bottom, which shows total income and expenses for that month/period. This is common in budgeting.

Add "Include Subaccounts" checkbox when getting online transactions
Similar to the Include sub account checkbox when reconciling an account, it would be very useful if when retrieving online transactions that the matching algorithm had the option to consider transactions within subaccounts. This feature would enable Envelope Budgeting - where I have one actual checking account but within GNUCash I subdivide it into several "envelopes", and pay for things out of those envelopes. Currently if I download transactions then modify them to debit the sub account, upon next downloading transactions the same ones come back, because they matching doesn't consider subaccounts.
I should also mention, your software is excellent…

Lazy report/chart generation during startup
When one does not close report/chart tabs before exit, next start up all reports/charts are regenerated during the startup. It dramatically slows down startup.
I suggest to implement lazy report/chart generation. Meaning the report/chart is calculated when it needs to be displayed, so during startup only if it is selected tab or later when user switch to the tab with report/chart.

Simultaneous OFX download for multiple accounts
Currently GNUcash requires manual selection of the OFX download action for each account individually- even though it allows you to store the login credentials. Then the user is forced to decide what to do with the downloaded transactions immediately.
This workflow might be intuitive for personal home use (though still not convenient) where the user likely has a very small number of accounts. It is very unintuitive for businesses who might maintain a large number of accounts.
A more convenient workflow would prompt the user for how they would want to deal with unmatched transactions on download. (ex: discard, add,…
