I am running KMyMoney Version 5.1.3-fc8f557ef from kmymoney-5.1-348-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage on Kubuntu Jammy.
I am trying to automate the importing of broker transactions for buy, sell, interest, dividend, and reinvestment transactions which I have been doing manually for a while. I think I am getting pretty close to a workable solution but I am seeing some things with the csvimporter that I can’t explain, namely:
For home currency accounts, an input transaction action of “Interest” or “Dividend” seems to be always mapped to a KMM income category of “Dividend” even for fixed income securities. The KMM Activity gets set to “Interest Income” or “Dividend” to match the broker transaction activity.

For non home currency accounts (USD in my case), the KMM activity gets set to the broker activity and the income category gets set to “_Dividend” even if that income category did not exist before the import.

When manually entering these transactions I could set the proper activity and income category. It is possible to configure the csvinporter to do the same? I don’t see anything in the csvimporterrc config file to tweak this.
