Thank you for pointing out this preferences option, and this OFX import code. I was not aware of either.
I just checked with a test book. With Preferences -- Import -- "Automatically create new commodities" checked, I performed an input of an Accounts CSV file which referred to a novel security. The CSV importer rejected it with an error message about the missing commodity.
CSV import is not the same as OFX import, of course. I don't have the information to quickly create an OFX test case.
And I have not tried CSV import of a transaction. It might be that transaction import has some code to create new commodities which account import is lacking.
