What happened?

When adding a split transaction in a budgeted account that is a transfer to an off-budget account, the off-budget account receives the parent transaction as well as each of the child transactions. The value of the transaction is therefore doubled. Example screenshots below.

Budgeted account making the split transfer:
budgeted_account

Off-budget account receiving the split transfer:
off_budget_account

I'm running server version v23.9.0 via docker and client version v23.9.0 via Firefox and Chrome on macOS.

This might be related to https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/1574 and https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/1732, but it's a distinct symptom from what those describe.

What error did you receive?

No response

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox, Chrome

Operating System

Mac OSX
