That’s good to know. But notice that the ACCTID isn’t particularly unique. Since Apple/GS don’t allow joint accounts, my wife and I both have accounts. But both sets of ofx groups have the same ACCTID, meaning I’d have to edit/script modify one or both accounts each month before importing the data. Ofx’s biggest advantage — FITID tags to easily identify duplicates — is rendered unimportant by another of Apple’s inflexibilities. Since you can only export a whole month at a time and always get the same transactions for a whole month, there’s never a chance of getting anything other than 0% or 100% duplicates. Under the current system, I’ve found it easier to import the csv transaction data. I have one settings file for my data, and one for my wife’s. And I easily end up in the same transaction matcher in nearly the same time as for a well-formed ofx file.
