[GNC] Import csv transactions in GnuCash 5.12

[Stephen M. Butler]

Interesting.  I took an existing CSV transaction file that I imported 
earlier this morning, changed the dates, changed the amount sign (added 
a negative) to three of the transaction and left the next three as 
positive values.  Removed all lines after that.

Did the import and the import correctly interpreted the negative sign to 
move the value to the other column for the three transactions.  I was 
already using the Amount (Negative) column header and have not tried out 
the other variants:  Amount, Transfer Amount, and Transfer Amount 
(Negative).  Not sure what Value and Value (Negative) do.

Which column header where you using for your import?

I'm running on Ubuntu 25.04 with GnuCash Build ID: 
5.12-37-g435735e8b6+(2025-07-28)  [I compile from a git repository clone].
