Duplicating Project Deposits

Problem

In Goldenseal accounting software versions 4.55 and earlier, you get weird results if you duplicate a banking transaction that is a bulk deposit for multiple projects, created from the Deposit Funds command. The deposit has Billed Projects in the Received From popup field, and you can't change it to anything else.

A similar problem happens if you duplicate a bulk deposit for cash or billed sales, rental transactions, and a few other minor types of deposits.

Workaround

Delete the duplicated transaction, and click the New button to create a new banking transaction instead.

Solution

Starting with Goldenseal accounting software versions 4.6 and later, the duplicated transaction is still useable.

Technical Details

Programmer note-- code changed in CBankTransaction::CopyFrom. This problem is pretty obscure, which is probably why nobody has reported it before now.
