Allow Debit/Credit columns while importing transactions

[thesobercoder]

My bank (India) exports all transaction with Debit and Credit columns instead of a single Amount column, and there appears to be no way to import such data. Also, there is no way to provide the default currency for all imported transactions. Please help.

This is also relevant to Canadian banks with transaction CSVs like as follows.

2024-01-01,Internet Banking INTERNET TRANSFER,,40.00
2024-01-01,Internet Banking INTERNET TRANSFER,,200.00
2024-01-01,Internet Banking INTERNET TRANSFER,500.00,

This also applies to those people hoping to import data from YNAB (and I believe my credit union does this as well). So far I've just done some google sheets column merging, but avoiding this step would be great.

Example:

"Account","Date","Payee",...,"Outflow","Inflow",...
"Wealthfront Cash","11/04/2024","School",...,$15.00,$0.00,...
"Wealthfront Cash","11/03/2024","Transfer",...,$38.00,$0.00,...
"Wealthfront Cash","11/01/2024","Transfer",...,$10.00,$0.00,...
"Wealthfront Cash","11/01/2024","Mom",...,$0.00,$7.00,...

@justinfar did we have some sketches for both of these at one point?

1. Selecting a default currency for transactions
2. Having a "type" (i.e. inflow/outflow) column as an alternative to the signed transactions (i.e. negative/positive amount values)

Nope we didn't have anything around this, will be having a look at this soon and update the import transactions flow to include this since it seems to be a multi-region thing
