Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

Hello. I am a new user to Actual and I'm trying to set up my first budget locally.

I created a new account, and then attempted to import a local QFX file (originally exported from Chase bank).

The import hangs and shows the error below:

Briefly looking at the code, it seems the fallbackMissingPayeeToMemo handler is only provided for ofx files (ref):

    parse(
      options.filename,
      fileType === 'csv'
        ? { delimiter: csvDelimiter, hasHeaderRow }
        : fileType === 'ofx'
        ? { fallbackMissingPayeeToMemo }
        : null,
    );

... but the parseOFX method where the error is happening is used for both OFX and QFX files (ref):

      case '.ofx':
      case '.qfx':
        return parseOFX(filepath, options);

...

  // Banks don't always implement the OFX standard properly
  // If no payee is available try and fallback to memo
  let useMemoFallback = options.fallbackMissingPayeeToMemo;

I don't have a local dev environment set up right now to test, but should the fallbackMissingPayeeToMemo handler also be supplied to options for qfx file types in addition to ofx?

Thanks.

I have created a PR for this: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/1649

@MatissJanis Do you think we should do a v23.9.1 release?

IMO think that's too risky. We've merged a lot of things since releasing v23.9.0.

Folks experiencing this issue can move to edge tag (which contains the fix). And once we push out v23.10.0 next month - they can switch over to the versioned release.
