Provide a tool for disallowing unwanted quickfill transactions
Please write a tool that shows all the entries that are in the quickfill database, with an option (perhaps a checkbox) for each to bar it from use by quickfill if the user chooses. Restoring the option (unchecking the checkbox) would allow it to by used again by quickfill.

I see this was requested in 2011, with follow-up request in 2012. I downloaded and began using GnuCash in 2016 - and the inability to disable QuickFill has become very annoying. I have many repeat clients, but their total charges are different every time; however, QuickFill automatically fills in the amount for the last previous transaction for a client - including the splits for Sales Tax Liability, etc. When I enter the new amount, there is then an imbalance because the splits are now incorrect. This might make me find a different accounting program. I generally like to donate for open-source software after using for a while to find out if it is suitable for my business. Unfortunately, the inability to disable QuickFill may be the deciding factor in a) not donating, b) switching software, and c) not recommending to other small business owners.

Showing all the descriptions at once might be excessive, but the ability to disable quickfill for a particular description would be very useful. This is related to, but not the same as, my request for per-transaction disabling of quickfill. In fact, both could happily coexist.
