toolkit-for-ynab: Assisted Clear for reconciliation does not recognize the sign in credit card
Describe the bug When I try to use assisted clear to reconcile my credit card. It has the opposite sign for the actual balance I enter as opposed to the cleared balance in YNAB.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Be sure “Assisted Clear” is turned on in the YNAB toolkit
- Go to a credit card balance with some uncleared transactions
- Click on ‘.reconcile’
- enter a balance that does not match the cleared balance.’
- note the difference
- click “use assisted clear”
- See the error
Expected behavior I would expect the difference to match what YNAB shows without using the assisted clear

@lproff Did you try entering the account balance as a negative number? If not, try that and let us know the result.
