Hmmm. Why would you want to export from 4.8 to import into 5.10 when you can simply open the file in 5.10? I would think that making copy of the file (save-as option from GNUCash), then delete un-wanted accounts in 4.8 version and then open that pared down one in 5.10 is much cleaner to go about.
Are you trying to merge books (or files)? -----Original Message----- From: David Cousens <davidcousen...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2025 4:57 PM To: David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com>; gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] How to import transactions from Release 5.10 into Release 4.8 David I don't think one could expect there to be a setting in Gnucash 4.8 to import the Export format from later versions of the program e.g. 5.10 as that Export format did not exist at the time of release of GC 4.8. The workaround might to be to export the same or a similar set of transactions from 4.8, compare that to the format of the same or a similar set of transaction exported from 5.10. Then compare the two formats and note any differences. You may be able to get an import by a reassignment of the headers to different columns in the input file, but if the differences cannot be handled by that then using a macro/scripted editor to reformat the file to a format which can be imported may be necessary.
