Categorisation of transactions

[Zdenek Muzik]

Hi

I am looking for a way to categorise transactions in GNUCash and cannot 
find anything on the topic in the documentation.
I am basically looking for a possibility to assign attributes to 
transactions that could be used in searches and reporting.
Examples of such attributes would be Payee, Project, etc. Ideally there 
would be an editable list for each attribute so that it would be 
possible to use a drop-down list while entering the transaction.
The only way there seems to exist is splitting accounts into 
sub-accounts which is extremely unpractical for certain use cases - e.g. 
attributes that may be used across a big number of accounts, temporary 
attributes (e.g. projects) etc. I think that about three-four fields 
like that would be enough.

I appologise if I have missed something obvious, but I really spent 
quite some time on the documentation.


Best regards


Zdenek
