Description

I am using the firefly importer to import data from the bank Kontist via GoCardless. Unfortunately this drops the Description Field. This is most likely caused by the data Kontist provides via GoCardless, which looks like this:

"transactionId": "some-data-here",
"bookingDate": "2024-02-01",
"valueDate": "2024-02-01",
"transactionAmount": {
	"amount": "-24.0",
	"currency": "EUR"
},
"creditorName": "DataData",
"additionalInformation": "Important notice for myself",
"purposeCode": "the data that should become the description field",
"internalTransactionId": "RandomString"

I compared the data that a different bank provides, and for that the description field is named "remittanceInformationUnstructured", which gets picked up correctly by the importer.

Would it be possible to allow the manual mapping of the gocardless data for such cases? Similar to the csv import process?
That would also allow me to store the field "additionalInformation" in the notes field of the transaction. Kontist offers the possibility to store additional text for every transaction. I use this to, for example, note which product I bought from Amazon for the corresponding transaction.

Sorry, what you see is what you get. I can only expect banks and GoCardless to be consistent in what they put into the API. Each field has a purpose for a reason.

[shrippen]

Hmm, then I should probably contact the bank or gocardless I guess.
What field should the description be in? remittanceInformationUnstructured?

[JC5]

That field is used most often, yes.
