Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

If you have a nYNAB budget that has a category group where the name is 'Income' you can't import the budget.

Steps to reproduce,

Error shown in console

index.ts:313 Uncaught (in promise) Error: A ’Income’ category group already exists.
    at Module.insertCategoryGroup (index.ts:313:11)
    at async undoDisabled (api.ts:50:24)

Cause

I believe this Is due to Income being a default category group in actual. When it tries to create a category group it fails as a category group already exists 08aff05a06/packages/loot-core/src/server/importers/ynab5.ts (L79-L82)

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Operating System
