Report option to report the MF/Stocks transaction with lot details.
Currently the Advanced Portfolio Reports / Transaction Reports for Mutual Funds / Stocks report only the consolidated gain loss per MF/ Stock. Given the tax structure in various countries, it would be benefecial to have the lot details as well. Eg in India, the taxation changes with the duration of holding the fund as well as the type of fund. Reporting the lot details will enable easy tax calculation in a spreasheet.

Scheduled Transactions
Banks, most anyway, post interest at the end of the month. If you set up a scheduled transaction for the last day of the month and use the program during the day, it tries to create the transaction before you know the interest amount. If you schedule for the 1st of the month, you have change the posting date each time. You should allow the transaction to be created the day after and automatically back dated to the last day of the month. Basically, you allow create in advance, why not create in "arrears".

Create a report to show all unpaid invoices
I know its possible to get this data with the Find Invoice function, but that doesn't show the amount due, nor can I export the search results in any way other than by taking a screenshot. It would really be helpful.

Job report & Expense on job
I would like to see a report that could show the income and expenses for any specific job. Another thing I like to see is an easy way to enter "job expenses". If you just add a job selection dropdown list box, while entering expenses, that would be so nice and easy.

Account type (or placeholder) that allows child accounts to be any type
I would like to be able to group different sets of accounts together logically rather than by type.
What I actually want is a top-level "Current" account that holds everything but my long-term investment assets, expenses, and liabilities so that I can verify on the Accounts page and when I "Open SubAccounts" that the total balance is always zero.
Similar to the approach at

Categorize multiple transactions at once
It would be nice if I could select multiple transactions at one time to assign them to a single category.
Example 1: I frequently import lots of data (via QIF) at once and don't have time to categorize everything during the import process, so I want to be able to go through later and quickly categorize. It would be much faster if I could, for example, select all of my restaurant transactions at once and then categorize them all with a few clicks.
Example 2: For my business trips I create a single account for each trip. There is no…

Add a "Remarks" header in Scheduled Transaction editor
Just a plain text field that allows me to add some comments to the scheduled transaction. I have to open the transaction to see when it's going to end. With the new field I can just type say, "Monthly loan payment to XXX, ends in June"

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).
