09:58:08 <Robert847> Hi. I have an issue with OFX import where GnuCash selects the wrong base account for an import. In release 4.8 I was able to create a modified import file with a different account number to trick GnuCash into forgetting the wrong base account so it would let me select the correct base account for the original import file. Today I am trying that trick in release 5.11 and it doesn't seem to make Gnuccash forget the incorrect b
09:58:08 <Robert847> nt like it did before. My question is where can I find instructions for a procedure that works for this issue in release 5.11.

10:20:23 <Robert847> Thanks for being a sounding board to help me organize my thoughts.
