SplitTxn.getAmount()<br>
SplitTxn.getValue()<br>
SplitTxn.getParentAmount()<br>
SplitTxn.getParentValue()</p>
<p>For one, the getParentAmount() and getParentValue() seem to be
exactly identical. They return the same value and have the same
description in the docs. But getAmount() and getValue() return
different things. Why?</p>
<p>Also, why is the description for getAmount() and
getParentAmount() the same in the docs?</p>
<p>Most importantly, why when I view the details of a split
transaction, does the value different from the getAmount() number I
get back?</p></div>jugdizhtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/416408732018-08-11T06:38:09Z2018-08-11T06:38:09ZConfusion about split transaction amount vs value vs parentAmount vs parentValue<div><p>This never got an answer, so I'm re-opening.</p></div>jugdizh
