Re: [GNC] Missing "Buy" action after import of QIF file
I stand corrected as well. The Action column is never updated with the action denoted in the qif file. Nonetheless the right side buy and sell columns do reflect correct transaction (which Derek confirmed by walking the code), which is what I was looking at it before, albeit it is not easy on the eyes to decipher what transaction is what. Since Action column never had any information in it (since at least going back 3.4 version), I have gotten used to looking at the right side columns. As a follow on, it does not populate for OFX imports either so might be absent for all import methods. That should be a bug IMHO; not a RFE. -Original Message- From: Derek Atkins Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2023 7:32 AM To: m...@tgr66.me Cc: Kalpesh Patel ; gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Missing "Buy" action after import of QIF file Looking at the code, you are correct; the importer never calls xaccSplitSetAction.

Looking at the code, you are correct; the importer never calls xaccSplitSetAction. It USES the action to figure out how to process the transaction, but it never actually saves it.

Re: [GNC] Missing "Buy" action after import of QIF file
This is what I would expect to see. Note the “Buy” in the Action field. However, I had to add that as the QIF import process doesn’t appear to be doing it.

Re: [GNC] Missing "Buy" action after import of QIF file
I only included the snippet relevant to the question; my real file has the header lines and carets. The back ticks were included because I’m used to using those to show a code block :-) They’re not in the real file. I’ll include the entire test file at the end of this message. So I just double checked, and the Buy action is not selected in either the `XYZ` account or in “Joint Brokerage” account. I don’t know where else I should be looking. I’m on Mac with GnuCash v4.13. I can also try on a Linux box. !Account NAssets:Investments:Brokerage Account:Joint Brokerage TInvst ^ !Type:Bank D01/11/2020 NPayment/Deposit PTrf My Bank CX T1,000.00 MDeposit LAssets:Current Assets:My Bank ^ !Type:Invst D12/2/2022 NBuy PXYZ, INC YXYZ I150 T450 Q3 CR M3 shares @ 150; Nothing to see here ^ !Type:Invst D1/1/2023 NDiv PXYZ, INC YXYZ T16.23 CR MInvestments:Dividend Income; Still nothing ^ > On Jan 3, 2023, at 16:09, Kalpesh Patel wrote: > > Your QIF may not be complete.

Re: [GNC] Missing "Buy" action after import of QIF file
Your QIF may not be complete. I believe it is not documented but need first four lines and the last line as shown in the below example; carets are important in qif format as well! This would be the minimal example: !Account NTest TInvst ^ !Type:Invst D12/2/2022 NBuy PXYZ, INC YXYZ I150 T450 Q3 CR M3 shares @ 150; Nothing to see here ^ With that qif file contents, a top level 'Test' account created, child account called 'XYZ' created under 'Test' account, a buy entry for 3 shares created and a new security called XYZ under NONCURRENCY namespace created. I also think back ticks at beginning and end of the one you provided in the message are extraneous when included.
