            Bug ID: 393441
           Summary: CSV import: description not saved permanently
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.0.1
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: importer
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: Martin at Lichtvoll.de
  Target Milestone: ---

I import debit card CSV files that contain the following six fields:

1. Does not matter
2. Date when booking happens
3. Date of transaction
4. Description (recipient of the payment)
5. Value
6. Original value (for example in case of payment in USD with conversion to
EUR)

I import field 4 as recipient/description. But then the CSV Importer does not
stuff it into the note field. Thus the recipient gets shortened to the matching
payment recipient KMyMoney detects it at, i.e. 

However I can not set field 4 to import as note, cause then the CSV Importer
has no description field and does accept clicking on continue.

It is no big issue, as long as auto detection of recipient works fine, but
could become a problem in cases it does not. Thus I like to preserve the
original text. Thus I´d rather import field 4 into note field and leave
description/recipient empty, in order to enter it myself. This would also help
KMyMoney not to autocreate recipients like "Balance debit card according
invoice from $DATE".

(I rather not add an example file to the bug report itself due to privacy
concerns.)
