importing invoices

Hi,

I have been using the invoice import feature since it was first introduced
as a beta option in 2.4.13(?). It has never fully worked as it should and I
would like to know if anyone else has had better luck with it or if perhaps
it's a bug I should report?

For my business I generate my invoices elsewhere and I have to then import
them into Gnucash. I only need to import the total amount (not multiple
separate line items). I format the invoice details as a .csv and the import
works very well - to a point. Everything imports perfectly up to the
handling of taxes and posting. I include for each invoice the "taxable",
"tax included", "tax Table", "date posted", "date due" and "accumulate
splits" details but the import ignores them. This means I have to manually
go into each invoice and set the tax status and then post each invoice.

Does anyone have specific experience with this?

Cheers.

​Curtis
