Changed Banks - how to keep future transactions (edit)

I recently changed banks. I put in my register all the transactions for the year that I know will be occurring ahead of time. For example direct deposits, transfers that happen on a regular basis, automatic withdrawals etc. Is there a way to move those transactions to the new bank account from the old bank account. Trying to avoid having to put them all in manually if I can.

    Click on the first such transaction to select it. Hold down the CTRL key and click on the LAST such transaction. Then, right click on any selected transaction and click "Move Transaction(s)"

    Instead of laboriously pre-populating your register with a year's worth of recurring transactions, please consider using Scheduled Reminders instead.

    If something changes, instead of having to change a number of transactions, you simply change the scheduled reminder's "current and all future instances" to make the change, e.g., to update your rent or to pay from a different account.

    Register settings allow you to see future instances of scheduled reminders "as if they were real register transactions already". That helps with planning future account balances.

    There also is the Projected Balances view, available under the Bills & Income tab. This view also allows you to see, with a graph, how your selected accounts' balances will perform over a selected future time period (30, 60, 90 days, etc.)

    yes - Reminders - I have all our payments setup as Reminders, even with unknown payment amounts that I just fill in when the actual bill or event happens. I review the Calendar, and can see all the upcoming bills, events, charities, taxes, etc …
