That would work.
On the one hand, one would have to periodically run search and replace operations. But one would save having to maintain a second translation table along side the existing Import Map.

Sorry for the confusion. -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+paul=kroitor...@gnucash.org <mailto:kroitor...@gnucash.org> > On Behalf Of Paul Kroitor Sent: Thursday, May 4, 2023 8:04 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org <mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: [GNC] Memorized Payees (aka Import Map) vs Renaming Rules Hi, I have two (mildly) related questions, but I will post them separately, so the threads don't get confused. Quicken has two facilities upon transaction import that interact with each other: 1. Suggests a counter account (Quicken calls some of them categories) based upon what was done with earlier transactions with the same characteristics. 2. Translates the bank-supplied description entry into something more friendly (Quicken call these "Renaming Rules"). So for example, an incoming bank transaction: TF 2023 2034-302 D $100 Could be automatically changed to: Transfer to Fred Monthly Alimony D $100 The first facility adds the "Monthly Alimony" counter-account, and the second does the description change ("TF 2023 2034-302" => Monthly Alimony). My question is this: Gnucash does the first part well with its Import Map feature. Is there anything that can do the second part for me?
