I only recently started using file based import (and it’s actually really nice), but I keep running into this issue where imported transactions aren’t matched to reconciled transactions and they end up being just duplicates. How do I get around this?

When I want to manually match it, only transactions that aren’t cleared are shown.

Do I just delete them every time? Should I remove the reconciled transaction so the imported transaction is memorized and doesn’t pop up the next time? Should I try to remember the exact import date and only use the transactions after that date?

I know this comment is a million years late, but, just to check, are you viewing your transactions with the already-reconciled transactions hidden or not hidden?

I‘m viewing all transactions, it might be an issue with the way I’m importing the files. Not exactly sure. I created a shortcut that talks to the API directly and I’m using that to import the file on my phone.
