💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Sometimes the de-duplication logic gets in the way. This has been discussed in depth here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2420

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

We should add a checkbox option to the import modal. Checking this option would disable the de-duplication logic.

I had been pondering this and I think this is the best way forward. The only other thing I was thinking was to change how de-dup handles reconciled transactions. Like reconciled transactions either have to match id's or be a perfect match.

So if I understand it right, instead of using

packages/loot-core/src/server/accounts/sync.ts reconcileTransactions()

in case of imports we should be able to use

packages/loot-core/src/server/accounts/sync.ts addTransactions()
