Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I have two accounts.
In one account I have a negative value transaction for date A.
In the other account I have a positive value transaction with the same (opposite) amount for date A+2 days.
If I create a transfer for these two transactions, the date value gets changed (the dates are switched).
If I now try to change the dates, both transactions get updated with the entered value.

Remarks: In Germany we have bank working days (monday to friday), so it is common that a bank transfer on e.g. a friday is debitted on friday but added to the receiving account on next monday. So the money is "not available" during the weekend.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Precondition:
Have two accounts A and B.

Reproduction:

  1. Create a transaction in A for date 01.08.2025 with a value of -10,00
  2. Create a transaction in B for a date 03.08.2025 with a value of +10,00
  3. Switch to "All accounts" view
  4. Mark both transaction
  5. Select "Create Transfer" from Table Action Menu

Screenshots:
Before Creating Transfer:

After Creating Transfer:

Outcome:

  • Accounts are switched
  • amounts are switched
  • notes are kept
  • dates are kept

Expected outcome:
Leave fields untouched.

Remarks:

  • Transaction dates are kept as-is.
  • It does not matter, in which order I select the transactions.

My guess is that the code is accidentally swapping dates and notes (the reciprocal of what you had said). Still wrong though.
