I found that there actually is a preference setting for this, at the bottom of 
the page in Preferences>Online Banking, called "Use Non-SWIFT transaction 
text". Uncheck it and the extra text no longer appears.

David,

It's not always that particular string; it depends on what type the financial 
institution tags the transaction with. For example when I pulled in my credit 
card this morning the descriptions all began with "Generic debit;".

This new misbehavior happens only with AQBanking, which doesn't and hasn't ever 
populate the Notes field. The OFX/QFX file importer inserts the "OFX ext. info" 
string into the Notes field.

John Ralls

Sorry, I am confused about field names.  Is that new message in the
description field instead of the current data or is it actually in the
Notes field where the previous message was prepended to the FI note?

It's a new feature [1] that was supposed to apply only to HBCI, so there's an 
option to enable it on the HBCI import dialog but not the OFX one where it's 
enabled by default.

"Point of sale debit or credit (Note: Depends on signage of amount)" appended to transactions in 2.6.17

2017-07-05 Thread John Vermeer 

Hi,

Since upgrading to Gnucash 2.6.17 I am seeing the string "Point of sale 
debit or credit (Note: Depends on signage of amount)" appended to the 
description field of all my OFX transactions. I have aqbanking bringing 
most transactions directly from my credit union.


This exact string is found in 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/src/import-export/ofx/gnc-ofx-import.c 
[line 107]. But I am not certain that that is where it is coming from. I 
suppose that my credit union could also be appending the string.


This is happening in a home compiled Linux version as well as under 
Gnucash installed in Windows 10.


Is this a new feature? Or, possibly, a bug?

Thanks,

John
