This is another one I've also run into, in my case with checking and 
credit card accounts.  I prefer to keep my KMM accounts using 
transaction date, but the imported settlement date or post date of the 
bank always overrides the manually entered date.  I think I put in a 
wishlist about this, but I'm not sure.  It makes sense if you are trying 
to have your KMM account exactly match the institution's account, but 
not everybody does that.
