Martin. It seems everyone understands how it works but it's just not useful. Bank Accounts represent liquid assets so why not treat Asset Accounts in the same way with the exception of allowing them to appreciate or depreciate. I really think these two fields/features ("Assets" and "Asset Accounts") need combining.
So I guess I need to add it as a Feature Request or??

Re: Assets
The point is that not everyone understands how it works.
It is confusing. Here's a user illustrating that very point today: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/6167
I've looked back in the development history and it appears that Asset Accounts were added in 2016.Bank Accounts represent liquid assets so why not treat Asset Accounts in the same way with the exception of allowing them to appreciate or depreciate.

"Similar to Stocks and Shares management, an Asset can now access its own account having the same name as the asset name. This account allows normal transactions to transfer money to assets and vice versa. Transactions to and from Assets can be classified as Transfers or as normal Deposit/Withdrawal transactions, that affect income and expense calculations."
