Group & Category additions to Export about actual HOT 5 CLOSED

@bpaulien Tks very much... :o)

from actual.

Just to make it more readable:

IMPORT: It does not consider the Group & Category fields. I understand that the object is to import transactions from the Bank, which do not have those fields. But there are situations when one could want to import from another application (not nYNAB or YNAB4)... Or want to make a fresh start in Actual by exporting 2 or 3 years worth of info and reducing it to the new year only and re-import... For whatever of these or other reasons I'd request the inclusion on the Group & Category fields in the import feature...

EXPORT: It does not include the Group field, and only exports the Category. Group is a key component of the Group/Category combination and should be part of the export... One reason could be the one I mentioned just now of wanting to make a fresh start... Another could be moving from Actual to another application and one should be able to export and take all his info...

Hi... After moving away from Actual since it went Open Source, as I have no technical skills to set it up on my PC alone, I have finally come back via PikaPods...

I am still using YNAB4 as the main app, but hope to switch over after testing for a while...

I see that this issue I mentioned back then is still open and am wondering if there is any chance of it been tackled???

If not I will have to re-think my Categories, since in several Groups I have same Categories (e.g. "Other")...

I import on a monthly basis to Excel and, via a Pivot Table, do all sort of analysis and budgeting... Without the Group in the exported file all those "Same Name" Categories would be lumped into one!!! And that would be a complication...

Thanks for any feeling as to this issue, as well as the SPLIT issue (#522), where I just added an example that was been requested...

Importing categories is tracked in #557, updating this to be just about exporting.
