GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 500427
SX creation doesn't include template transaction "Notes"
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:55:24 UTC
The double-line view "notes" field doesn't get copied from the template txn when an SX is created. see: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2007-November/022633.html for context. I'm reasonably sure that this was introduced with 2.2.x, and is certainly present in 2.2.1
Fixed in r16652; we now copy the notes during creation. Awaiting branches/2.2 backport.
branches/2.2@r16658. Thanks a lot!
This is only a partial fix for the problem. It fixes copying the Notes from the scheduled transaction model to the newly created transaction. The Notes field is not copied from the original transaction to schedule, to the model. The partial fix can be confirmed by editing a copy of the XML database with a text editor (example, Textpad in Windows). Tag the original transaction's description with something searchable in the editor, such as TRQ123, then the same TRQ123 tag in the scheduled transaction's model description field, as seen in the Edit window for the scheduled transaaction. The model can be seen to not have the trn:slot block with Notes in the edited XML file. Copy the trn:slot block from the original transaction to the model transaction, at the same relative location after the Description slot. The newly created scheduled transaction will now have the Notes.
