Help update

davidlambert

When will help be updated to match the newest version? I have found several items in "Preferences' that don't have "Help" associated with them so I can find out how they work. For example, under "Preferences>Data entry and QuickFill" there is an option I've not seen before; "Offer to update past transactions when category is changed" with a sub-option "Only when updating uncategorized transactions." I understand the "past transaction" part but need help on "Only when updating uncategorized transactions."

Can’t answer you as to when the help will get updated, but I can answer your second question.

Say you are editing a transaction that already has a category in it.  With the “Only when updating uncategorized transactions” selected it will not offer to update the past transactions.  But say you are now updating a transaction that has the category blank, it will offer to update the past transactions.  With the option not set it will offer to update the transaction no matter if the category is empty to start with or not.
