[GNC] Trouble Changing Imported Descriptions

[Paul Kroitor]

This is part 2 of a two-part question about imported transactions.

 

My bank invariably imports transactions in barely readable technical jargon.
For example, a debit card purchase at Villeneuve & Sons comes into the
Aqbanking importer as:

 

"[PR]L. VILLENEUVE &"

 

My problem is that it's nearly impossible to correct this description to
"Villeneuve". I can type V, Vi, or even Villeneuve into the description and,
upon pressing enter, it will jump back to the original description (because,
apparently, that string is in the original version of the field, despite in
being in a different case). Even typing Villeneuve<space> doesn't work. The
only way it will retain my lower-case version is if I type
Villeneuve<space><space>, which it will keep (because Villeneuve followed
two spaces is not in the original).

 

I understand why Gnucash needs to consider Villeneuve and VILLENEUVE as
being the same entry, but not why it can't see that a manual override to
"Villeneuve" should be reverted back to "[PR]L. VILLENEUVE &". There must be
a way to say I want to enter my own version of the name!

 

This is driving me crazy!
