Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I prefer the "transactionDate" to be the default sync mapping - not "Date". I finally found that this can be changed in the account settings, but it was a pain to do it for every account and I will have to remember to do it for new accounts going forward.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The suggestion is to be able to manage the default bank sync mappings (like "date -> transactionDate") somewhere in the application settings.

You can choose which date to use in both CSV import and the bank sync settings already.

Thanks! I didn't know that was where it was located.

It looks like some accounts say "No transactions found with mappable fields" and it's also annoying to change this mapping for every account individually. So perhaps I'm suggesting the mapping "date -> transactedDate" is the default via a setting

There may already be a feature request for changing the default sync mappings, but you can make one if there isn't already.

I don't see one, so I'll repurpose this one for that
