State: closed
Merged: No


Hello,

After looking into the issue, it seems that the transaction deduplication is due to the two transactions having the same amount and account and the second transaction happened within 7 days of the first one.

After reading the import transaction code, the fuzzy matching matching uses the 7 days method to try to match similar transactions and merge them.

Proposed solution: prevent the fuzzy matching from matching imported transactions (where import_id is not null) to prevent this behavior.

@MatissJanis what do you think ?
