Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When importing transactions via bank sync, notes get imported as expected. A lot of times, the notes are the same as the payee so I manually delete the notes. When I perform the next bank sync, the notes get re-imported and I have to clear them again.

One workaround I've been using is entering a whitespace character ( ) instead of fully clearing the notes. This prevents the notes from being replaced, but still looks "empty" to the end user.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  • Run bank sync to import transactions
  • Delete notes for those transactions
  • Run bank sync again
  • Observe notes are re-imported even though previously cleared

Where are you hosting Actual?

Any empty field will get filled on a sync. If you don't want notes you can disable importing them in the bank sync settings.
