Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Every month on the 1st, I have an automatic transfer set up from account a to account b in my bank. In Actual, I have a schedule to reflect this transfer. When the bank transfer takes place, and I sync my bank accounts, I expect a single, scheduled transfer transaction to be reflected in both accounts in Actual. In reality, two additional transactions for the same amount, in and out, also occur account a:

It's not a massive problem since the two transactions cancel each other out, but still annoying.

How can we reproduce the issue?

It's tricky because it happens after a Gocardsless bank sync

Where are you hosting Actual?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Do you have a rule creating that extra transfer? It looks like a rule is setting the payee to be the same account so you get the in/out thing.

I did find a rule that might have been the reason for this, but I'll have to wait a month to verify ;) I'll reopen if necessary...
