Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I am writing a backend Django Server to feed my Dashboard reporting. One thing I need is to ensure that all my Actual Accounts are up-to-date and synced with their connected banks.

I can't see anyway to get if BankSync is enabled for an account. This means I will have to run BankSync against every account in each Budget File; which is not very performant and also I am not sure if this has any consequences.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Can the Account Object be extended to include (at least) a Boolean Flag indicting if it is a "syncable" account - but other fields such as name of Bank, etc. would be beneficial

Teaching and learning

Documentation updated in the API Reference section to show new field(s) available in the Account Object.
