provide per-transaction cancel of autofill, with ESC, initial backspace, or anything else that works
It should be possible to cancel autofill for a particular transaction on the fly. Autofill works very well for some kinds of transactions and very badly for others, like department store purchases that have a different category for each purchase.

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.

Copy budget value into all budget periods
When creating a yearly budget with 12 periods it is frequently the case that a specific account will always have a standard amount budgeted.
I.e. I always want to budget £20 per month for Auto:Parking.
It would simplify buget creation if there was an option to "populate forward" into all future buget periods either the value from the currently selected period or the value entered into a dialogue box.46 votes -

Allow users to switch from accrual to cash accounting
Most small businesses use cash accounting rather than accrual counting, yet there is no apparent way to switch from one method to another. This causes significant problems and extra work come tax time.

Better automatic online banking setup for OFX download
Most individuals don't have the time to manually enter their banking information. I had no success in connecting to a major bank (bank of america), despite reading all the help files I could find.

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?179 votes -

Private split
would be great if one could set a % to split a transaction in private and business expense e.g. business car used privately (gasoline). Example can be found here: http://www.easyct.de/readarticle.php?article_id=10

implement standing orders via HBCI
Standing Orders (German: Daueraufträge) are not supported by GnuCash at the moment. But the underling libary AqBanking has support for it. It would be nice to have this feature in GnuCash.

Track mileage intuitively
It would be nice to add mileage to a job/invoice/bill as a separate field, and get a total for it in a report for use on taxes at the end of the year. Although I've seen old forum posts about how this can be done with workarounds, it's not very convenient or intuitive. Since mileage tends to be associated with clients/vendors in the real world, why not make it easy to utilize those existing relationships, and save having to create duplicate invoices/bills (one for assets traded, one for miles) for the "same transaction".

Transaction Classifications
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113772
While the account hierarchy allows each transaction to be assigned to a different sub-accounts, it would be useful to have classifications which apply to transactions accross sub-accounts. e.g. assume the following accounts exists
Expenses::Electricity
Expenses::Water
Expenses::RatesClassifications could be achieved by adding new level to each account
Expenses::Electricity::Property1
Expenses::Electricity::Property2
Expenses::Water::Property1
Expenses::Water::Property2
Expenses::Rates::Property1
Expenses::Rates::Property2This can produce complex accounts structures especially if multiple currencies are involved.

Add Undo Functionality
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509267
Where's ctrl-z when you need it? There's several aspects to this. Naive undo would include being able to remove some typing or a paste operation you did to a field that you didn't intend. Sophisticated undo would let you reverse a transaction that you messed up without having to hunt for what account it's in now. Even more sophisticated might be multiple levels of both Undo and Redo, and a hint in the menu next to each about what would happen if you chose that option.
This is another simple time-saver that's probably been mentioned elsewhere…

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…310 votesConcurrent multi-user support has been part of our long-term goals for a while now:

scheduled automatic invoice
In my business, my clients usually pay me monthly. It would be great, if I can schedule automatic invoices for those clients.

search
If I perform a search for widgets in the memo or other field I may get many transactions returned with multiple entries. I would like to see the search term results highlighted in each entry and maybe the ability to toggle the display of only those results.
