You’re spot-on about this. Even for my personal finance, I have to apply classification rules at import time and I can’t bulk edit transactions to reclassify them after the fact. As a result I am looking for a replacement, although a requirement for me is some sort of fava equivalent.

If you store your transactions in a plaintext format, why don't you use CLI tools? I just renamed a bunch of accounts using sed for instance, in a hledger journal.

Transactions with a specific regex payee need to be reclassified into a specific expense account. Yes, I could write a sed script to do this. No, I will not write a sed script to do this.

UPDATE transactions SET account = "Income" WHERE account = "Expense";

sed 's/Expense:/Income:/'

Thats pretty much what I've been working on.
