[Kmymoney-devel] Re: [Bug 253271] New: [scheduled transactions] input is lost, when encountering "Invalid payment type for bills"

[Alvaro Soliverez]

Hello all,
I have gone over this bug before (it was reported in a mail but not
filed in BKO).

The problem to solve it is that the transaction editor does not emit a
signal when the tab (and thus, the type of the operation) changes.
That would allow to enable or disable the payment types in the combo.
The StdTransactionEditor has a suitable spot to add the signal, but
the schedule editor instantiates the super class, TransactionEditor.

As a workaround, we can disable the ok button if the combination of
operation and payment types are not valid. But, that's the account
opening date debacle all over again...

Regards,
Alvaro
