Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I like to have notes for all my transactions. I'd like it if the scheduled transactions would pull in the name of that schedule if one is provided.

You can edit the Rule associated to the Schedule so that it fills out the Note field however you like. From the schedule, click "Edit as rule" to get there.
