Description romkyns 2011-12-09 18:36:58 UTC 
After upgrading to v2.4.8, I found that the "i" variable is no longer honoured when calculating the amount of a transaction. This is a major issue because all my depreciation accounts rely on this feature.

To reproduce: create a scheduled transaction starting a few days in the past, repeating for 50 times, for the amount "10 + i". Run "since last run".

Expected: several transactions created for the amount 10, 11, 12, 13 etc.

Actual: several transactions created for the amount 10, 10, 10, 10 etc.

On a closer look it appears that this hasn't worked properly in the past versions either (which means I have lots of fixing up to do in my books... should have tested it better).

I wonder if "i" fails to be incremented when multiple instances get created in a single run?

Hi

When create a new SX with the SX editor save both
<slot:key>debit-numeric</slot:key> and
<slot:key>debit-formula</slot:key>. Which cause the transaction amount
not recalculated by instance-count "i".

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
