Description of problem: Importing a CSV file causes all dates from the CSV file to be changed to today's date. Upstream bug report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771246 This was supposed to be fixed in Gnucash 2.6.15 however the 2.6.15 RPM distributed by Fedora still contains this bug!? I have downgraded to 2.6.13 to workaround this issue for now.
I meant to say, this issue also affects 2.6.14 (hence the need to downgrade to 2.6.13).
Hi IanB, Can you provide more details on how this fails exactly for you ? Perhaps you could add a small example file illustrating the problem.
I am the maintainer of this module. I just tested this and it behaves exactly as that in GitHub maint branch. The invoice 'date opened' is set from the first line in the CSV with a new id, all subsequent entries are set to the dates in the file. NB GnuCash 2.6.15 is now obsolete. Name : gnucash Version : 2.6.16 Release : 1.fc25 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Wed 26 Apr 2017 02:16:21 BST Group : Applications/Productivity Size : 51994713 License : GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA256, Wed 12 Apr 2017 06:35:24 BST, Key ID 4089d8f2fdb19c98 Source RPM : gnucash-2.6.16-1.fc25.src.rpm Build Date : Tue 11 Apr 2017 18:22:56 BST Build Host : buildvm-14.phx2.fedoraproject.org Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : Fedora Project
Closing as fixed in the current update.
I've just updated to 2.6.16 and the bug is still present! I've attached 2 screenshots showing the import dialog (screen1.png) followed by the resulting invoice tab (screen2.png). You can see in screen1 that the dates are different, but in screen2 they have all been reset to today's date. I have tested both with my regular .gnucash file & a newly created one - same problem in both. I've downgraded to v2.6.13 again, and the same CSV file imports with no problems.

This isn't a Fedora problem, it's a GnuCash bug. and it looks like my fault so I'll reopen the GnuCash bug. Please make any further comments there.
Upstream fix went into 2.6.17, please try that.
