Good day, Ron13.

 

For now, when you export the expense transactions, you're unable to add the description field.

 

I suggest sending feedback. All information entered there will be reviewed by our engineering team and will be considered in future updates. You can do that by clicking the Gear icon, then choosing Feedback

Rather pointless to have a field and include it and you cannot use the full functionality of it.
I to would like to import expenses and be able to add a description however this is not possible due to the limitation you have with this. As I stated, rather pointless having a field that you cannot use properly.... or would you like to go manually enter 100s of descriptions each month. Defies the purpose of having import and export functionality
