I would like to add that the generic importer shows the memos of matched
existing transactions rather than the descriptions on the page where
incoming transactions are matched to existing since it better fits the
notion of matching to the base 'split' account. I presume that the

Patrick,
When the Transaction is opened with the split button, the Description field
name should change to Memo. There are other
changes in the headings as described in the documentation (
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-multi-enter.html). If my
understanding is correct,
Thank you again for this helpful information.
I did have one other question about this. When I enter a split transaction
directly into GnuCash (by using the "Split" button), it allows me to give
each split of that transaction its own description. Since - if I understood

Personally I'm not convinced

I never understood the need or benefit to differentiate simple vs. split
transactions since *all* transactions are split into two entries at least once.
Perhaps dropping that distinction is in order, or does it serve some purpose
that isn’t outweighed by the confusion it causes?

GunCash’s use of the term “split” is quite specific, and defined in the
Glossary of the Guide, as well as Chapter 4.1 Basics. Basic Concepts.

Patrick,
The multisplit format is really only necessary for transactions which have
more than 2 splits. 2 split transactions can be accomodated with the Simple
Layout export and the import without multi-split selected.
The multisplit has problems importing multicurrency transactions at the
moment
I would like to import split transacations from a CSV file. Based on the
help balloon for it, the "multi-split" option seems to be the way to do
this, but I am not sure how to use this option. Is there an example
somewhere of how to use this option?
To be specific, what I don't understand is that
