I assume you do all this with the current master version. Can you send me the details of an unaltered transaction (screenshot of the Transaction detail output) via PM and maybe the plain XML of it?

Yes, compiled a few days ago, although --version only shows me kmymoney 5.1.80- which happens sometimens, although I've never figured out why.

Even better, I'm attaching a much smaller xml file which shows the problem. I created a new file, including checking (not actually used,) invest, and broker accounts. I then imported the following lines, which I copied from the actual download csv from Fidelity:

Run Date,Account,Action,Symbol,Description,Type,Quantity,Price ($),Commission ($),Fees ($),Accrued Interest ($),Amount ($),Settlement Date 05/31/2024,"Corporation" Z46095109," REINVESTMENT FIDELITY GOVERNMENT CASH RESERVES (FDRXX) (Cash)", FDRXX," FIDELITY GOVERNMENT CASH RESERVES",Cash,153.89,1,,,,-153.89,

At the bottom of this message is the section from csvimporterrc for this invest import.

What I'm particularly interested in is
1) why does the consistency check show an error (correctly, it seems) but the ledger does not show any indication of a problem 2) the ledger shows a negative value, but on editing the transaction, all amounts show positive 3) editing the transaction and changing the sign of the interest has no effect, but changing the sign of the shares shows shares and value as positive, but does show an error icon for a missing assignment of twice the value. 4) editing again and changing the sign of the shares then fixes the problem.

If the attachment of the xml file doesn't get through to the list, I'll send it to you directly.
