When entering bank statements, there is currently no simple way of increasing or decreasing the current bank statement number and/or the statement page, as is possible with the date field using the + and - keys on the numeric keypad. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start kmymoney 2. open file 3. enter ledger with transactions having a statement number 4. add new transaction 5. go to number field OBSERVED RESULT You must enter a new number - there is no way to use the previously used number and increase it by one. EXPECTED RESULT There should be a way to use the previously used number and increase/decrease it at least by one. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 KDE Frameworks Version: 4.14 Qt Version: 4.8.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Such support would reduce the number of keystrokes required to enter bank statements.
Does the "Auto increment check number" feature not do just that? https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/extragear-office/kmymoney/details.settings.register.html#details.settings.register.dataentry

Here is a list of formats supported by kmymoney: // 1.1 // 4.5 // 4/2018.1 // 1,1 // 4,5 // 4/2018,1 They are only increased in smaller intervals, since a page usually contains several transactions.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but where in the application do these statement and page numbers appear? I don't recall them, and cannot find any reference in the handbook.
It seems that some people 'abuse' the number field to store the statement number/page information. And for those is the request.

The current point of view to only provides check numbers in the number field seems to be a bit limited. gnucash for example documents the number field as "reference", for example check or invoice numbers. In a cash book this can be a document number for an invoice or similar or for a bank account the bank statement number.
Thanks both for the info. The main issue is that you are talking about the existing field, currently called "check number" (or some variant). I was just trying to confirm that there wasn't a completely separate field I didn't know about. I have no problem with extending the use of the field - but would need to address those enhancements in the docs, if they ever get applied to 5.x.
