Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

If there is a split transaction like this:

And the following code is run (where 'e070264d-98a9-4c91-b5e0-d4c1a63a219a' is the id of one of the sub transactions)

const api = require('@actual-app/api');
await api.updateTransaction('e070264d-98a9-4c91-b5e0-d4c1a63a219a', {notes: 'New notes'});

Then this will be the result:

As you can see, the notes have been updated, but the category & amount has been cleared.

This does not happen for transactions that are not split.

How can we reproduce the issue?
