I set up a wallet in bdb format with avoid_reuse=false in Bitcoin Core 26.0.0 for testing. I used importprunedfunds to bring in some transactions manually. Incoming payments worked fine, but I can't get outgoing transactions to import. I'm getting an error... I checked the "Receiving Addresses" and "Sending Addresses", and my wallet address is showing up under receiving. So, what gives? Why won’t the outgoing ones work?
Problems with Sending Address Import in Bitcoin Core

This issue is still marked as "Open", so it hasn’t been fixed in the latest update. If you really need to import those outgoing transactions, since it's non-descriptor, just import any of the outbound txn's output addresses as watching-only. That way, you'll have access to your funds but remember, the outputs from those outgoing txns will be included in your "Watching-only" list, using the inbound txn outputs. Best option? Only import the pruned transactions that are still unspent. Don't bother with those that are already spent... doesn't exactly fix the original issue though.
