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?

When importing a csv file transactions older than the starting balance are imported. As the starting balance indicates the beginning of a budgeting workflow this can cause confusion and causes inaccurate value reporting.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The importer should drop/ignore any transactions older than the account starting balance.
