[GNC] unable to import simple investment transaction from qif
Hi, I am trying to import avery simple transaction from qif: just 2 buy transaction for the same account, containing mutual fund The 'Assets:Investments:X' is gnu cash account tracking shares of , 'Asserts:Investments:' is a gnucash cash account. If I do not provide security symbol as below, the import fails when it requires to enter the security. !Account NAssets:Investments:X TInvst ^ !Type:Invst D07/16'2022 NBuy LAssets:Investments:Y Q34.107 T-77.58 ^ D07/15'2022 NBuy LAssets:Investments:Y Q7.638 T-37.7 ^ I provide security as Y, the import creates account Assets:Investments:X: that conflicts with 'Assets:Investments:X' 1. Does this feature works? If Yes are there usage examples. 2. I do not insist on using qif format, is it possible to use .csv for import, are there examples? 3. It seems that csv import requires a lot of manual selections to be made for every imported file, am I getting it right?

[GNC] importing simple investment account
Hi, I am downloading my data in the form of .csv file and I have a simple program to generate an.qif file with proper categories and then import .qif into gnucash. I am adding a program to deal with investment accounts. The problem is that GnuCash investment account consists of a multitude of sub-accounts: cash sub-account + one sub-account for every security/mutual fund. Should I generate a separate .qif file for every sub-account or I can pack it all into a single .qif file with proper account headers inserted? Also, I would generate .csv files but it is not clear what is the native import format for bank and investment transactions. Also, I am using 3.x GnuCash, does it make sense to switch to 4.x to simplify my importing chores?

[GNC] rational numbers as stock price
I am using 3.1 and see stock price numbers randomly displayed as both rational numbers (e.g. 2/3) and decimals (0.). I really would like to see decimals, is there way to force it.
