Would like to have a note field for a transaction.
Currently there is a description which I use to enter who the transaction is for or where its from. I start typing the description and it autopopulates with the last time that description was entered. It would be nice to have a note field, that does not autopopulate, so you could say Description is Amazon.com and note is "birthday present for so and so". This may be able to be combined with the other suggestion for attaching scanned receipts.
Thanks for the feedback. Is already implemented, then.

Hi,
Yes, the view double line works. Thanks. -

There are already multiple additional fields that might be able to do what you expect. If you click the button "Split" or turn on "View -> Auto-split" (multi-line view), you see one additional text field per line (where each line is one split of a transaction). That's the "split description" and it might be useful for your purpose. Additionally, you can turn on "View -> Double-line mode" which shows one additional line per transaction. The text field right below the normal description is entitled "memo" and you might want to enter your additional description there. Does that fulfil your request already?
