Description Andrew Weighell 2025-12-29 12:24:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
Multiple transactions can be edited in Ledger view.  For example, updating Category, Payer/Payee.  This works perfectly.  i.e.  All selected transactions are updated.  However, changes to the Memo made at the same time DO NOT update.  It appears the the only way to update the memo field is to edit each individually. (Maybe export to a spreadsheet, edit and reimport but probably excessive when updated a small number of transactions).       
(Applies only to Windows.  Ubuntu 24.03 LTS works perfectly).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open account in Ledger view.
2. Shift or Ctrl click to select multiple transactions > rc > edit
3. Enter new value in Memo field > Enter  (Edit values are updated in Payer/Payee, Category field but not in Memo)

Could it be, that you use a prior version on Ubuntu? Asking, because I was able to reproduce the problem on Windows and Linux (and there is no trace in the (common) source of taking care of the memo field in 5.2.x).

Allow chaning the memo in multiple transactions at once

When multiple transactions are edited, entering text in the memo widget has no effect. This change fixes the problem so that the data is stored. If only spaces are entered, the memo is cleared. In this case the user will be asked if that is what he wants to do.
FIXED-IN: 5.2.2

Hello Thomas,  You are correct.  I had version 5.1.3 on Ubuntu 24.03 LTS. 
Many thanks for your prompt reply.
