@joel-jeremy commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2023):
Can you try disabling the
Experimental OFX parserin the advanced setting to see if the old OFX parser's behavior is the same?@KyleK1782 commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2023):
It shows the same behaviour with that option disabled.
I looked into the code when I was opening the ticket, it seems the amount flipping happens client side, not server side. Server side the
ParseFileOptionsdoesn't include a flipAmmounts or anything like that while in loot-core you can seefunction parseAmountFields(...,flipAmount,...)parameter. This leads me to believe this is a client side operation.Desktop code: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/blob/master/packages/desktop-client/src/components/modals/ImportTransactions.js#L253
