Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

Consider the following transaction:

It is payment to the store, but it also contains a transaction split which is a transfer of $50 to the savings account.
If you try to import a transaction like this, the sub transaction gets treated as an uncategorised payment instead:

I have attached a modified demo budget which you can use to reproduce the behaviour.
ynab5-demo-budget.json
ynab5-demo-budget-working.json

Expected behaviour: imported transaction contains a sub transaction which is a transfer to the savings account
Actual behaviour: imported transaction contains a sub transaction which is an uncategorised payment.

👋 also hello this is my first issue - let me know if I need to add anything else - thanks

Hey @youngcw it works for me in master. Im not sure what the process is for closing these issues off. Not sure if it is best to wait until the issue has been included in a full release or if I should be fine to close it now.
