Internal transfers with a status of "Remind" are not created correctly

[Paul White]

I am using Homebank 5.1.5 and Xubuntu 17.10.

I have created a Scheduled Transaction to remind me to pay my credit card by a certain date each month. I don't know how much I will need to pay, if anything, so I set the status to "Remind" and estimate the amount to be £20.00.

I see that the account from which money is being taken from, my bank account, has the correct status and the amount is not deducted from the account total. The account into which the money is being paid, my credit card, does not have the "Remind" status and so the amount is added to the account total.

I would expect to see both parts of the transfer set to "Remind" so that they are both hidden from account totals and reports.

Obviously I would not want the "Cleared" or "Reconciled" status to be shown automatically on both parts of the transfer as in the case of credit cards it can take a few days for the money to be transferred from one account to another.

A workaround is to set the transaction amount to zero but then a Scheduled transaction is not automatically processed and I have to post the transaction from Scheduled transaction window.
