Thanks.


Upon importing the OFX I am prompted to match the different bonds in the
statement with the relevant asset in GnuCash:

This is quite a manual process having to match these manually
one-by-one.  Do you know whether there is a way for me to define the
assets in GnuCash so this mapping is more automated? (Or at least where
GnuCash is able to select the best match for me to review?)


Since it reads "Please note that the exchange code of the commodity you
select will be overwritten" does this mean that if I set the ISIN/CUSIP
correctly in GnuCash the mapping would be more seamless?
