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?

OFX format can contain multiple accounts as identified via CCACCTFROM.ACCTID or BANKACCTFROM.ACCTID. These fields can be used to import multiple accounts at once. Same field can be used to ensure when importing OFX to an account it is indeed the correct OFX file.

Right now, there is no validation or support for multiple account import.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

My recommended solution is to store this account id internally for each account. When the user imports via OFX, then populate this field.

Expose the "Import" button on "All transactions" page only if there's an account with account id populated. When user clicks on the import button on this page, open the Import transactions (OFX) window for each account. That's it.

Teaching and learning

We could make this grayed out or configurable via the settings page
