What happened?

I imported my budget from YNAB and it appears that I am missing the Credit Card Payments (liabilities?) that are budgeted in Actual.

Here is the JSON of the Credit Card Payments object:

        {
          "id": "6b968ed6-9b66-489a-9c5a-9698b7103d6e",
          "name": "Credit Card Payments",
          "hidden": false,
          "deleted": false
        },

And here is the JSON for the budgeted $219.01 credit card:

        {
          "id": "68f35af2-1389-4a79-866e-fdc91ea885c7",
          "category_group_id": "6b968ed6-9b66-489a-9c5a-9698b7103d6e",
          "name": "My Credit Card",
          "hidden": false,
          "original_category_group_id": null,
          "note": null,
          "budgeted": 219010,
          "activity": 407290,
          "balance": 626300,
          "goal_type": null,
          "goal_day": null,
          "goal_cadence": null,
          "goal_cadence_frequency": null,
          "goal_creation_month": null,
          "goal_target": 0,
          "goal_target_month": null,
          "goal_percentage_complete": null,
          "goal_months_to_budget": null,
          "goal_under_funded": null,
          "goal_overall_funded": null,
          "goal_overall_left": null,
          "deleted": false
        }

Not a critical issue, but it is the only data that appears that didn't make it over.

I am unsure if this was a built in group/category or if it was something that was created later. Either way, there must be something special about this group.

Thoughts?

I believe those categories are skipped because of all the extra trickery YNAB does to dynamically set the balance on those. Actual doesn't have any way currently to automatically transfer balances between categories so they would very likely be broken when importing.

Okay. Well it was worth a shot mentioning :) this can be closed if it's not going to be resolved.
