Editing or clearing the Comment column in bulk
Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2021 8:38 am
Has anyone found a trick or workaround to edit or delete the Comment field for multiple transactions?
Some financial institutions populate the Comment field with data that is not helpful. Often it is just a repeat of the Payee. I would like to be able to edit or delete the Comment for multiple rows so that only useful comments remain.
AceMoney offers a Right-Click->Edit Payee and Right-Click->Edit Category but sadly there is no Right-Click->Edit Comment. To my mind that would be the most useful option.
Has anyone else tackled this? Perhaps with some other utility to pre-process the OFX/QFX file before import. (Although that wouldn't help with my historic transactions of course.)
