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?

During import of a CSV file, the notes field can only be mapped to a single field in the CSV.

My Bank CSV provides multiple fields with useful data for categorizing, such as category, sub-category, KID number (Norway), in/out separated account numbers. However, only one can be mapped to the notes field.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

A checkbox list of fields to map in the notes field would be neat. The data could be comma separated in the notes field, and not be added to the field if blank.
