[GNC] Strange error in OFX import

[David Carlson]

David R: Clever observation.  I think that in this case
<CCACCTTO><ACCTID>1425 appears because there are two different credit cards
using the same parent account and those transactions were charged with the
card ending in 1425. However, the card used information did not get posted
in GnuCash. I think the importer probably can handle that at least
partially because, as you point out, it did for you in the past, and I know
that it also did for me with a certain bank.

That bank used to allow multi bank account downloads in several different
formats before they 'modernized' their website to look nice and work
efficiently on smartphones. Today they post information including which
debit card within an account was used for each transaction of that type,
and that is shown in GnuCash.  I have not checked to see how that appears
in the OFX files from that bank.
