That seems optimal...

Is there a way to condense (keep transactions/remove audit trails) for a designated period - i.e. everything prior to 12/31/2018? It only offers that option through the current date (whereas you can set a date to completely REMOVE transactions).

I'm not confident I want to completely eliminate that ability for transactions just recently closed. I'm sure I'll be cursed by accounting purists, but I have been known to go back and modify a closed transaction before to correct an error (gasp!).
