Recently, my downloaded transactions' Payee text field is getting very long, as they more often precede unique text with very common terms, like "External Withdrawal" or "External Deposit" which increases the field length unnecessarily, affecting log viewing, sorting and reports by sliding more useful descriptive info further to the right, or even truncated. In most cases, those descriptors are obvious and not even useful!
Renaming rules do whole payee field only, and proliferates rules. Why not let us create a global abbreviation any words like "External" to "Extl" or "Ext", applied when the transaction is downloaded or maybe a Find/Replace option to replace all occurrences of a common word or even a phrase like "External Deposit" with "ExDep" or whatever user specifies, for words found in already accepted transactions?
