[GNC] How to re-import exported transactions?

[Jeroen Bruijning]

I am trying to import CSV transactions that I have previously exported from GnuCash. In the import dialog I have to match columns with field names like Date, Description, Amount, etc. I have done this before with CSV files from another source, and that worked fine. 

In this case, matching is a puzzle to me. Not clear what all columns mean and how they are supposed to be matched - column names do not always match the names in the drop down box where I am supposed to define the mapping.

But one choice I seem to have, is to load settings called “GnuCash Export Format” (I am using 5.10). It seems to me that this should do the required matching automatically. But nothing seems to happen.

Am I mistaken and is Gnucash Export Format for another purpose? Or else, what can I do to make it work?

Thanks!
