Changing currency in one account type switches all other's too

[rugk]

Problem: When accounts are linked together, i.e. have exchanged money at some time, and I change the currency of one.

So this is very unexpected for the user. So at least display a warning when you do things like that, as it may not be obvious to the user why all currencies are now changed…

Practical use:
When you "convert" money into very voilatile cryptocurrency you have exactly that situation. I mean I can imagine few situations where your accounts are so "split" that you do not convert some money from one currency into the other.
Currently you cannot do so.

So the long-term solution may be to pin the exchange rate to the transaction, not to the currency.

yes It changes both as explained into the documentation
you use internal xfer for what they are not devoted for: same FI, same currency, also into the doc
