Add 'Memo' (Notes) to list of choices of columns for .csv import
I use GnuCash 2.4.11 on Windows. Currently, the choices available for the columns in GnuCash .csv import are 'Date', 'Description'. 'Balance', 'Deposit', 'Withdrawal', and 'Num'.
The 'Generic import transaction matcher' has a column in 'List of downloaded transactions' for 'Memo', but predictably is always blank since there is no discernable method of selecting a .csv column for 'Memo'. I am assuming that 'Memo' is the same as 'Notes' displayed when using 'Double Line' display for an account.

The csv import has been reworked fairly intentensively in the current development branch. In gnucash 2.8 it will be possible to select both a memo column and a notes column. This version is currently expected for release early 2018 as other major changes are being implemented still.
Thank you for your request. Feel free to submit additional requests.

Memo and Notes are two different things. Notes belong to a transaction while memos belong to splits. Each transaction consists of at least 2 splits, which you can see by enabling the split view mode in any split register. This split view will also show you the memo fields for each split. You are correct that double-line mode will show the transaction notes field.
