Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

if i have a category with the same name, inside two or more groups , on importing a csv or qif file, the category is not respected and the "importer" get it aleatory from the group.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create a categories with the same name, inside 2 groups, like:

Usual Expenses
- tax
Income:
- tax

Create 2 or more entries on a account:
Give every entry the same category from differents groups.

Export this entries.
Delete the entries.
Import the CSV again.

Where are you hosting Actual?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Duplicate of https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2095
More of a feature request as it's a limitation of the current export format
