            Bug ID: 418334
           Summary: Request: Use latest values to fill in transaction
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.0.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: eager at eagercon.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When entering a new transaction, entering the Receiver name brings up a list of
past Receivers with similar names.  If one is selected, the new transaction is
initialized with values for category, price, and maybe others, from a memorized
past transaction.  This makes it easy to enter a repeating transaction.

The data used to initialize values appears to come from the oldest transaction
to the Receiver.  When there are changes to a repeated transaction, say an
increase in payment on a repeated bill, this means that this field needs to be
updated each time a new transaction for  is entered.  It would be better and
more user-friendly, to use information from the most recent transaction to a
payer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a ledger which has existing entries.
2. Add a new transaction to a past Receiver, changing one of the fields.
3. Add a new transaction to the same Receiver.

OBSERVED RESULT
Oldest transaction is used to set defaults in a memorized transaction.

DESIRED RESULT
Newest transaction is used to set defaults in a memorized transaction.
