Returning spare BTC to sending address, help needed

[Trofo]

I would like to return all spare bitcoin from transaction to the sending address. It is escrow wallet with multisig and I would like the funds to always stay on same address after making payments.

What is the proper way of doing this? Is there some option to tweak or maybe i just add another receiver on the end of transaction with

When I want to get the change in a spending address instead of change address, I also use successfully <address>,!
I find it as good option as any.

Another direction should be to uncheck in preferences the use of change addresses; I've never used this option, but it looks designed for your use case.


PS. If you have Advanced Preview enabled, you can take a look onto the transaction before broadcasting; it may help, to be sure.

Thanks, just wanted confirmation from somebody who already tried it so I can save myself some testing time. I knew it should work but but better to check before trying and this proved to be surprisingly difficult problem to google.

Yup, that's all it takes.  On the confirmation screen you'll see where the change is going, and if it's an Electrum selected change address it'll be highlighted in yellow, and if it's a standard receiving address from the same wallet it'll be highlighted in green.  If you've set up the payment correctly you'll see your original (the sending) address as highlighted in green, indicating that the change will be sent there.
