Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
Deployed Actual to PikaPods. I followed the instructions to export my nYNAB budget to JSON.
When I import a very simple budget (1 account, a few categories, 20 transactions) that was created in nYNAB, everything comes into Actual no problem.
When I try to import my main budget file that was originally created in YNAB4 and migrated to nYNAB, I get the error "An unknown error occured while importing." This JSON file has almost 40k lines and is 20 MB. Many accounts, hidden accounts, hidden categories, deleted categories, etc. etc.
Where are you hosting Actual?
Pikapods
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Firefox
Operating System
Mac OSX

OK clearly I did not know how to search for other issues. I found a similar thread here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2886
The key is opening up console to look at the logs - it pointed out that I had a duplicate budget category. "Gas" and "Gas". I opened up nYNAB budget, found the hidden budget category, renamed it to "Gas_OLD", re-exported, and imported just fine.
