Renaming Payees or Memos in Bulk

Postby Sooky » Thu Aug 19, 2010 9:30 am

There is a great feature in YNAB. You check all of the transactions that you want to effect, and then you can re-Categorize them with the little drop down menu above. Works like a charm!

Why can't I do the same for PAYEE or MEMO? When I click on a Payee, the drop down menu offers me the ability to change all other payee's with the same name to the one I choose. THe problem is, I don't want to do it for the entire database, only for the ones that are selected or in the "current found set" (in filemaker speak). Anyway, the same goes for Memo.

Is there a way to selectively rename Payees and Memos?
