Does anyone know as part of General Journal - can the offset transaction text by auto-populated from the line description field when creating/posting a single line journal?

I've noticed with Financial Tag, the tag is automatically copied to the offset tag, would be great if there was an option to do this with the line description/offset transaction text..

Can the offset transaction text by auto-populated from the line description field

Hi Andre,

Many thanks for your reply and apologies for taking so long to reply.

In the example above - I just posted the test journal thinking the offset text auto-populates from the description, like you state, however it doesn't.

I was maybe hoping that Financial Tag's, which does mirror to Offset Financial Tag automatically without the user re-selecting would be mirrored with Description & Offset Transaction Text. That doesn't appear to be the case, so we will work with that.

Hi Simon,

In case you leave the offset transaction text field empty, it will use the description as transaction text. Why do you want to populate this field with the same value if it will use the transaction text from the description field?

There is no functional support for this. You can consider a customization if you insist on copying the value.
