Hi Allan<br>
<br>
Unfortunately this is not a solution. You should be able to update
the amount using the bulk edit feature.<br>
<br>
The problem seems to be that the val field is not checked whether
it has changed or not. It is cast to a Mymoneymoney object and as it
is an empty string that object returns a 0<br>
<br>
The object probably should have a "NaN" test, it does not appear to
have such a test. Failing that the text field should be checked
before the MyMoneymoney object is instantiated and used. <br>
<br>
What is confusing is for some reason
StdTransactionEditor::slotUpdateCategory tests for the existence of
the category label "<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">if
(categoryLabel)</font>" and skips updating the value if it exists.
It seems that that may have been a kludge fix for some other issue.
The fact that the two types of editing, inline and using the form,
have two different program paths says to me there are bigger issues.<br>
<br>
Lastly when editing multiple transactions if you select a category
that has a tax auto split on it, it silently fails to add the tax
split. That is pretty crazy. If you rely on this software to do your
annual taxes and it silently discards taxes, then you may have
problems with your tax office. At the very least it should issue a
warning. preferably it should create the split properly. I don't
know if I want a stint in jail due to a software bug.<br>

I have a potential fix for this, which appears to do the necessary,
without any apparent harmful effects.
In void StdTransactionEditor::slotUpdateCategory(const QString& id),
circa line 1543, there is an updateAmount(val), which now I execute only
if (!isMultiSelection().
I don't know if there may be a better way/place to do this.
I notice also, that Buy and Sell activities have a similar problem if a
fee account is entered.
