[GNC] 5.1 - New Description Memory Option?

[Vincent Dawans]

Jack:

This is being discussed in this bug report
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798829

I think it would be good to have more users express their views and needs
about this feature in that report so the developers have a better sense of
the various issues. In expressing your views, it's also good to offer what
sort of tweak for alternative behavior you would want to see, so the
developers can get a sense of what users want (instead of just complaints
about what they don't want) and see how they can reconcile different needs.

It has been discussed on the email list before as well but then ideas etc.
get lost a bit. With the bug report it's all in one place. So I encourage
all with comments about this feature to put them on the bug report.

Sincerely,
