Description Wm 2018-05-05 07:54:48 EDT

If the red line (File / Properties / Accounts) is set and a tx is entered that is dated before the red line the date of the tx is silently altered to fit the red line.

I think the user should be warned if the date of a tx is changed by the prog.

I think this is new in 3.x or a change in behavior.  Was it in Actions / Warnings before?

I found this entry on github...

https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/78cbc3d0979e108b1a9dad2c250e52878b026a45#diff-13ea25c82673bb9c73aa19fa4771e94f

So it looks like that has not changed, you get a warning in the trace file.
