Make sure you do the assignment during the matching, in the matching
window. Not after matching is all done in the registry (in which case GC
does not learn anything).

Hello,
I am running Version: 3.8 Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29) and when I import a QFX, nearly all the transactions are
assigned to "Imbalanced" even though I have gone through multiple iterations of trying to teach GC to
recognize transactions by assigning the accounts manually. I have seen earlier postings about this, but the most
detailed discussions were serveral years ago, and the most recent says, in substance, "just keep
trying". I hesitate to do that because I fear it's a fool's errand. How many times do I need to tell it
"Stop & Shop" belongs to Expenses:groceries?
One strange detail: I tend to neglect my financial record-keeping for months
at a time, but as I recall, I was not having this problem a few months ago. It
seems to be a case of *it used to work but now it doesn't.*
I've read that it may be that it thinks "Imbalanced" is the answer, and cannot
unlearn. Is there a any way to wipe the slate clean, so to speak, and force GC to start
over so?
I've also seen that people have written Perl scripts to run against their data
files and yeah, I could try that -- but I'd much prefer to get GnuCash to work
properly without having to intervene this way.
Any suggestions?
Gratefully,
David
