Big thanks! All three of your points were direct and clear.
You are right, I am choosing U+C because I want the date to update and
the description to populate. As I stated, this is what I used to get.
I will definitely be checking that issue out and likely commenting.

I wouldn't be surprised if this has been asked in the past, but I

Most web search tools respect
'https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/' as a way of
restricting the search to the gnucash-user mailing list archives. That
might help you search the archives.
… Previously, on the PC, my manually entered notes were NOT
overwritten. Now that I'm on the Mac, the notes are being
overwritten by that arcane data, but I don't know if that is a PC vs
Mac thing or a version change thing.…
It might also be a "you are using the software differently" thing.
Check in the transaction matcher window, which appears during the
transaction import. If the status column reads "C", then your notes
and memo field should stay unchanged. If it reads "U+C", then the
notes and memo fields from the imported file should replace your notes
and memo fields. See documentation at
<https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help>,
especially "Table 6.1. Import Status of Transactions".
…I don't really want to lose my manually entered data, but I would
like to have the bank data imported an synchronized as well. Is
there anything I can do so that the generic transaction information
doesn't overwrite my previously entered notes?
GnuCash does not offer that option, as far as I know. I wish it would.
Maybe you have thoughts to add to Bug 797678 - "OFX importer should
supplement, not replace, existing Notes (and Description and Memo)
fields" at <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797678>.
Best regards,
