There is an issue which has been bugging me for some time with regard to
OFX/QFX imports: At least from my credit cards/financial institution,
when data is imported it overwrites the existing data in both the
"Description" and the "Notes" field...and, nine times out of ten, the
QFX "Notes" field is essentially a rehash of the "Description" field.
I like to leave transaction identification information in the "Notes"
field so that months later (Tax time!) I can recall the exact purpose of
a purchase without having to do a search through my email logs or PayPal
transactions in order to identify what that eBay purchase was actually
for. But at present any information I put there gets overwritten unless
I remember to manually re-enter it after the transaction clears when I
do an import from my financial institution.
I'd like to have a switch somewhere in "Settings" where you could
customize the QFX (and possibly QIF, although I don't use that much)
import so that if the Notes field is non-blank it does not get
overwritten by the imported data. Perhaps there already is such a switch
and I've just missed it; if so could someone enlighten me? Otherwise I'd
like to make this a formal feature request; how do I go about doing that?
