I turned on double line and can see Notes. There is one more space next to it but it’s not editable.
The example for Donation can be solved with several different approach. It’s more challenge to solve the general problem. For example, there are multiple sub-account under main Account “Travel”. The Tag is used to select the travel destination. This creates a 2-D setup where you can track different expense types for each destination. Another question is when importing from Quicken export QIF, is there some way to map Tag? Is there a conclusion that GnuCash should not support Tag (a feature can exist and people can choose not to use it as if it does not so it won’t create problem for them while others can choose to use the feature)? Or is it matter of lack of development resources? If it’s the latter, I wonder someone who wants this feature can add it?

Once you have the sub-accounts and use them, you can track the charity by running a transaction report. Go to options, select Donations and all the sub accounts on the accounts tab, and set the desired date range on the General tab. Look at the other options while you're there to see if you want to change anything. When I do the above, I get a report of all my donations, grouped and subtotaled by charity. -- Jim On Sun, Apr 28, 2024 at 9:26 PM <hh8...@gmail.com <mailto:hh8...@gmail.com> > wrote: Hi, This means a sub category for each charity. Now, if we have c categories and t tags, in Quicken we'd have c*t number of combination. Creating 1 sub category for each tag under each category will be tedious. In Stack Exchange, some suggested to use Note or Label. But I could not seem to find them in the registry. Is that possible?
