I tried the removal with having Sort Code visible in accounts and
categories view. When I
remove it on the categories view and answer No, it goes away but is
still present on the
accounts and institution view. If I then remove it on the accounts
view and answer Yes, it
will be removed from both, the accounts and institution view. So far,
that looks ok to me.
Adding in conjunction with No does not seem to work as expected.

CC is for Cost Center and will identify if a cost center assignment
is necessary for a split
referencing a category. The view will show a check mark if the
requirement is present.
Opening the category editor (select a category, edit it) will show
the "Cost center
assignment required" option towards the bottom of the dialog. This
controls the check
mark in the view.
The cost center stuff is not yet functional in anything other than
the account/category
editor and view. It is used in the new ledger code already, but we
don't have that yet. So it's
something for a future feature.
Not sure, if we can easily remove it, since this will be a string
change. Maybe, we can add a
section about cost centers and that it is work in progress.
No need to remove. I'll easily mention "work in progress"
Sort Code is showing the content of the IBAN field of an account.
Is IBAN mainly a European thing, or more just not common in the US? I
suppose at some future point, I might add a section about some of the
main regional differences that KMM supports.
As time is running out (and I have another commitment for the next few
hours) I'm going to try to stick to stuff that is important to change -
mainly things I think will really confuse someone if it doesn't at
least make clear that it has changed in 5.0.
I figure we will have a series of releases in the next months - a
combination of bug fixes, polishing new features, and then catching up
with the manual and the translations. This is the main reason I am not
overly worried about not having the manual as complete as I would like
by freeze time - either end of day today or with a short delay if there
is anything we really want to include that is not ready quite yet.
