Hello,

because I am trying a lot to import data from a CSV file, I have
realized that i'd be nice to have the possibility to map additional
columns from the CSV file into additional fields in KMM.  For example,
the current import wizard doesnt allow importing transaction categories.

The only fields as of now are Number, Date, Payee/Decription, Memo,
Amount, Debit/Credit...

Categories could follow a hierarchical scheme such as for example for a car:

Car
---->Gas
---->Maintenance
---->Driver's license
...

Importing a transaction with the field "Car/Maintenance"  would import
the transaction and assign it under the

Car
----> Maintenance

category..

I thought I'd replied to this request but it seems I didn't, so apologies for that.

Do you see this as an on-going requirement, or just an initial setting up need? Where would the input file originate? The reason I ask is that initially I wrote the plugin to import from banks, which would have no knowledge of KMM categories, so didn't foresee such a need.

If you still see such a requirement, it would be as well to create a wish-list item on https://bugs.kde.org, so that it's not forgotten. At the foot of the bug report, change the severity to Wishlist.
