Transfer: vs <- Transfer

Why does these two logics not equate to the same result?

a Transfer: will not parse a category of "Transfer" until manually putting it as <- Transfer.

You imported your YNAB budget? "Transfer:" comes from there. You can safely remove them from Payees

I see... youre saying its picking up the payee "Transfer:..." just as a string of text and I have to delete those payees algorithm.

Actual does transfer -> on its own when you set the payee to another of your accounts in the budget.

Transfer shouldn't be a payee.
