We are tightening the behavior of the assets matcher in transaction policies.
What is changing: A transaction that has no outgoing asset outflows will no longer match any policy rule that specifies a particular set of assets. Previously, such transactions could match asset-specific rules even though no relevant outflows were present.
Background: The assets matcher exclusively examines outgoing asset outflows. A transaction with no outflows has nothing for the matcher to evaluate, so matching it against a specific asset list produced undefined and potentially unsafe behavior. The updated behavior makes this explicit: no outflows means no match.
What you may need to do: Review any policy rules that use an assets matcher. If you rely on those rules to catch transactions with no outgoing asset outflows, you will need to add a separate rule that handles those transactions explicitly (for example, a rule that matches on transaction type or recipient without an assets condition).
