Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Quicken exports are generally much neater from my bank, but they use both the payee and notes columns. There is important information that I would like to leave in the Notes column, but I would also like to be able to add more details or comments to each transaction so it is clearer what it was related to. This is particularly helpful for Amazon purchases, since there is such a wide range of products available.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Having the option to add another column to the accounts tab for details or comments on a transaction would be very helpful. It would allow a clean and efficient way to identify what was in a specific purchase without needing to mess with imported Notes.

Teaching and learning

It could be added to the documentation already available for formatting that is included in the Tips and Tricks section.
