Balance metadata not imported correctly #980

Open alexiri opened 5 years ago

alexiri commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to import some transactions with a balance directive, as follows

2018-11-05 * "..." "..."
  __source__: "..."
  balance: XXXX.YY EUR
  date: 2018-11-04
  Assets:...  XX.YY EUR

This is apparently not parsed correctly by Fava:

If I change my importer to only add the number and not the currency to the balance, Fava reads it correctly but then I get a 500 error while trying to save the new entries. I then have to go back and manually add the currency to each entry, but then it's written as a quoted string (balance: "XXXX.YY EUR").

Perhaps some better formatting is needed in EntryMetadata.svelte?

I'm using the very latest version (56d7b94) from master.

Currently, the amount is serialized as an object to Javascript, which can't really be edited in a text field. To support these metadata types, a Amount->JSON object (with editable amount string)>Amount roundtrip would have to be implemented.
