Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

This looks like possible regression of or similar/related to https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2647 and https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/2653

When importing QIF files from American Express, only one record is shown for input processing, despite there being hundreds of transactions. This occurs on any export from Amex in QIF format, regardless of dates selected for export from the site.

Example contents of activity.qif:

!Type:CCard
D12 May 2025
N20250512
T-50.19
PAMAZON.COM.CA           WWW.AMAZON.CO

How can we reproduce the issue?

Try to import qif files from American Express - with blank lines maybe?
