The full list of free-text fields available to use are: per-Transaction: Num, Description per-Split: Action, Memo
The book property 'Use Split Action Field For Number' will internally swap Num & Action IIUC. The main purpose was originally likely to mimic Quicken behaviour. Quicken (DOS) is available to explore at https://archive.org/details/msdos_Quicken_7 The secondary purpose is to have enough text fields to store data from OFX imports. See OFX 1.6 spec at https://www.ofx.net/downloads.html - OFX1.6 has <CHECKNUM> <NAME> <MEMO> etc. On Thu, 11 Jun 2020, 12:30 pm Stan Brown, <the_stan_br...@fastmail.fm> wrote: > Can I suggest some indication of why one might want to use the Notes > field?
