Hello fellow users of GNUCash,

Indeed, the recent flatpak version of GNUCash for Linux (4.8) allows with a *.csv-file import two (or more) columns of the type /Deposit/ and adds them up. I have not tried this with other versions.

When the developers agree that this is a bug, then I will fill in a bug report officially. This way I get to know this kind of forms.

Jean,

Am I correct in concluding that you are reporting that the possibility to add two columns of the same type to a CSV transaction import is to GnuCash release 4.8 Flatpak?

If so, I think that is a bug.  Do the developers agree?

    Hello Fellow users of GNUCash and Frank,

    I have an update on this 'problem with PayPal statements'. It
    seems that
    I have had two columns set as /Deposit/, so that GNUCash added two
    values per row*, which resulted in a doubled amount for each
    transaction.

    Sorry for any inconvenience. By failing, I am learning to walk...


    *Is this a correct behaviour, that GNUCash adds two deposit columns?
