Yep. Thanks.. That verifies you're using the wrong account type.

Yeah... A/R (and A/P) are NOT for human consumption. They were
designed specifically for the business features. I was going to
originally make the A/R and A/P registers read-only to make this more
clear but unfornately I couldn't do that in a good way. But yeah,
you're not supposed to be using A/R and A/P for hand-entered
transactions. Just use "Asset" and "Liability".
So yes, what you're seeing there is a duplicate of the Split Memo for
the A/R Account Split.

Right.

Nope, it's not being tied to the transaction memo; the same field
is displayed twice in the A/R and A/P registers, by design.

Well, then, I guess the feature will have to wait.
