Yes, that’s why I’m asking.

No change.  There are still the same duplicate records after doing this.

Yes, my expectation too.

In this case there actually are 4 splits, so my expectation is that there should be 4 lines with the same transaction ID.  The problem is that each of the 4 distinct lines is replicated a total of 3 times.

As a check, I created a new book and imported the unique set of transactions from the first (i.e., the exported file sorted with “sort -u”) and re-exported the transactions.  That set still had the duplicates.  Thus, there must be something about the export process that is creating duplicates.

Is this a known issue?
