That sounds really strange. A transaction has only one post-date field, so how 
can you have a different date on each split of a transaction? This is 
technically not possible! At least I wrote it that way, and so far it has 
worked that way.

Or do you mean the original and imported transaction which are shown side by 
side as one in the ledger before you accept the match? Then that is perfectly 
OK (and it's not two splits of one transaction but two transactions with 
almost the same split each - hence the match).

I'd say it does, but I am not 100% sure. I need to check the source what was 
meant to happen.
