[GNC] Importing investment info from Financial Planner's website

[Joseph Hymel]

 Thanks David T. 
Just to clarify I am only interested in being able to import MY investment holdings from my financial planner's website via my login/password for that website. I have recently left Quicken software where I had that ability to import my investment info, and thought it might exist in GNUCASH also. There is so much similarity between the two applications that has amazed me and thus caused me to seek this functionality out if it existed. I appreciate your prompt response nonetheless.

 Jo,

Importing such information is typically a one- time process, and the time it would take to programmatically process all possible situations makes it expensive, from a programming perspective. The development team has focused on other areas. I doubt any developer would take up your request. 

Having used gnucash for many years now, I have come to feel that the time spent trying to import even a complex set of investment accounts would be better spent creating the accounts and transactions to start up. Putting in this investment in time (pun intended) also helps one learn how to manage these accounts on a day to day basis.

I understand that I can setup each individual investment myself and have gnucash update the investments values daily, etc. I am interested in being able to setup the downloads of my investments directly from my financial planner's website (Ameriprise Financial) into my gnucash software. 
Is this functionally possible? If yes, how do I do it? If not, then is it possible for me to suggest this functionality be incorporated at some point in the future?
Thanks,
Jo
