Description

Prior to the 4.x release, I had a wallet with set USD Values inputted for each incoming transaction. After updating, those custom values had been reset to the default values (that I think are determined using the rate provider set in Preferences > Fiat ?). Not a huge deal, didn't have too many transactions, so I just updated them back.

However I noticed that the next time I opened the wallet, the values had been lost again. This time, paying closer attention, I noticed the values were resetting at a pretty quick pace (every minute or two). I keep losing those custom values I enter.

Shot in the dark, but I'm guessing it's happening every time it refreshes the rates from the provider?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the History tab after entering a custom USD value, then compare behavior after rate refreshes and reopening the wallet. Check the rate provider settings under Preferences > Fiat; done means custom transaction values remain stored through refreshes and subsequent wallet openings.
