Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I'd love to have a convenient way to move a transaction from one account to another.

Use case:
I accidentally entered a complex split transaction into the wrong account. Now I have to delete it and re-enter it in the correct account.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Would be great if I could simply right click on a transaction and have option "Move to account", and then choose the right from the drop-down list.

You can move transactions between accounts already. You can use the all accounts page and change the account there. The other option is to select the transaction in question and use the edit menu to change the account or press "A" while it is selected.
