[GNC] Feature Request/Workaround Info: Preserve "Notes" Field?

[Eric H. Bowen]

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?
