In Gnucash, is there an automated way to move transactions from one account to a subaccount?
A club that I'm a member of has their finances in Gnucash, but it was not very well maintained. I'm currently cleaning it up to make reports more useful.
Here's one thing that I want to fix: Right now, all donations and membership fees are booked as coming from a single "Donations" income account and going into the checking account. I want to create subaccounts below "Donations" for each donor and member, to make it easier e.g. to check if someone has paid their membership fees.
So, for example, I want to edit all transactions with description "Donation from Bob" such that instead of coming from "Donations", they shall come from "Donations:from Bob" instead.
Right now, I'm doing that by opening the transaction list for the checking account, using "Edit > Find" to find the transactions in question, and manually editing the splits referring to the "Donations" account to refer to the subaccount instead. But that's rather tedious. Can I automate that?
