There was no reason to make this a new bug. However, there are two things I suggest. First, if you just hover the mouse over one of the problem transactions, is there a pop-up (like a tool-tip) showing a reason the transaction cannot be edited? It usually happens if one of the splits references a closed account. In such case, you need to reopen that account, edit the transaction, and then re-close the other account. In addition, if you run the program from command line, you might see a useful message about the problem, but I would favor the first method. If there isn't any such pop-up, then look through each split and confirm that all referenced accounts are still open. There is a separate bug open about KMM not providing sufficient information about why some action cannot be performed, but it will probably be a while before it is adequately resolved. Thanks for the reply. My first reaction was that your suggestion could not possibly be right since I have already edited over twenty earlier transactions made up of the same set of splits, and anyway they are all split between categories with no transfers to accounts, closed or open. But when I looked again at one of the transactions that cannot be edited I found that the seventh line was different to the previous ones. Instead of a category it is a transfer to a closed account, even though the memo following it is identical, which made it easy to miss the change when editing many other transactions too. So you are right, there is no bug, and it would have been helpful if some message appeared to explain the transaction cannot be edited for as long as it involves a closed account. Sorry to have bothered you, but at least this is resolved and I can continue to update the transactions. Closing as not a bug, assuming that providing better reasons for not allowing some action is already a separate wishlist. (bug 312649) (That bug was originally about telling the user why an account could not be closed, but I just added a comment to include this issue also, making it more general. |
