You can set up similar types of accounts to have the same columns visible, but you'll have to do it multiple times for different types of accounts. For instance, click on a credit card account, click on Columns, check Memo/Notes, and thennat the bottom of the drop-down menu, select "Apply to All Credit Card Accounts". Repeat with a checking account, and brokerage account and a retirement account. Finally, you may want to click on each of the account groups (e.g. Banking, Investing) and sub-groups (e.g. Cash, Credit Cards, Brokerage, Retirement) to add Memo/Notes to those group account registers. It's annoying to have to do multiple times, but it takes only a minute or two to add Memo/Notes to all your accounts and account groups. (Note this adds the column, but if you want the column in a different position, or to have a different widths, then you have to make those tweaks in each register.)
