This field displays the selected fields that you can apply information from to all accounts that contain the selected main account or subaccount. This field can only be viewed.

If you made changes to a main account, you can apply changes from one, all, or a combination of the following main account fields: Description, Cash Flow Type, Status, Start/End Dates, Clear Balances (only applies to non-financial accounts), and Rollup Types. If you made changes to a subaccount, you can apply changes from one, all, or a combination of the following subaccount fields: Description, Status, and Start/End Dates.

If the main account's or subaccount's short description field is entered, the short description appears in the Value field for the Description field. If the main account's or subaccount's short description field is blank, the value in the Description field appears.

Start and end dates are replaced only if the new dates are more restrictive than the existing start and end dates for the accounts. The new start date must be equal to or later than the existing account's start date, and the new end date must be equal to or earlier than the existing account's end date.
