Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

My nYNAB import was failing with the message "unknown" and no other info. After much troubleshooting I found that I had a very old transaction that had the payee name in the memo field and nothing in the payee field. Once I swapped those the import completed successfully.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Attempt an nYNAB import with a blank payee name on a transaction.

Tested on Docker version 25.12.0 and https://app.actualbudget.org/.

Where are you hosting Actual?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Would you mind checking the preview build in https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/6476? I believe it will fix the issue for you
