I vaguely recall that this has come up before, with about the same
(lack of) remembered reason for the restriction. However, given that
you found multiple explicit checks, whoever developed that bit of code
must have had a reason, although perhaps we are lucky enough that it
simply doesn't apply any more. I suggest filing an enhancement request
at bugs.kde.org (if there isn't already one - I haven't checked) just
to put it officially on record. If you have already looked into the
code, then a reviewboard request might not be out of order.
To be long winded, I suspect what may have changed since that code was
written was the general use case. At that point, the most common
scenario (yes, I'm just guessing, but ....) was KMM mostly used
manually, with someone just starting to download and import statements
from either a bank or credit card. Now, with ofx-direct connect (and I
suppose aqbanking and other methods I am not familiar with) we have
accounts where the primary input is importing, and transactions between
accounts each of which has its own primary import are now much more
common.

No Takers?
I have commented out the checks that prevent the matching of imported
transactions. KMM then correctly manually matched the transactions. I
haven't had the opportunity to test matching during import.
So the remaining questions is why was matching disabled on two
imported or two manually entered transactions. There was checks to
prevent it in at least 3 different locations.
Is there a subtle bug that creeps in if these checks are removed?
If there is no (remembered) reason to prevent the matching of
imported files then I suggest this "feature" be removed. Though this
feature is documented there is no documentation I could find that
gives a hint as to why.

Hey all
I am having an issue with imported transactions not being
automatically matched and manual matching is disabled.
both transactions are the result of seperate imports one from my
credit card statement the other from a bank statement
both transactions are for a payment from my bank account to the
credit card
Both are on the same date with the same amount the only differences
are the memo and payee fields
They should have automatically matched. but didn't and I assume
because they are both imported I cannot manually match them.
Questions
1/ How can I correct this?
2/ What is the thinking behind disabling the matching when both are
imported or manually entered?
documentation is here..
