Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When I try to import my chequing account's "QFX" file, I get the "Error: Failed importing file" error with no debugging info.

I'm a new user, so this has never worked. However, my creditcard QFX/OFX file from the same bank imports fine. I tried importing a day later, same error for chequing account only, despite being different files with more transactions. All files import fine into other software (Moneydance).

Also tried importing on the Demo server, and using the Linux Flatpak app, same issue.

Both the browser dev tools (Firefox and Flatpak), show no errors (no logs at all) when import occurs. Same with Docker container.

The issue here is that the file is invalid, it's missing an ACCTTYPE
