   Thanks. This can be a very tedious process, especially where there
   might be dozens of securities to match one by one through a gui that
   requires many clicks through different drop down lists.

   It would be nice if there was a way to ensure much better matching
   suggestions and then the user simply needs to click to accept (in most
   instances).

   I’ll continue to experiment with importing IBKR ofx transactions into a
   dummy test file. Thanks for the guidance so far.

   That is true for the first time.  After that it will learn the matches
   you make and only ask for new ones.

     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?
