Comment 4 for bug 871314

Hello Mustufa,

The purpose of my patch is indeed to make the duplication of account.move useful, not account.move.line.

The point, though, is that when you duplicate an account.move, you usually want to change the period, which is currently not possible since the period is duplicated on each move.line. Therefore my patch propagates a change of period (and journal) on account.move to the account.move.line's inside the move.

IMHO, this is rather safe, and a huge plus for accountants.

This is somewhat related to issue #777640, although I don't quite understand the patch propsed on that one.

Best regards,
