Please include a unique identifier in CSV export

zjs

Would it be possible to include a new column in the "Export to .CSV" file containing a stable, unique ID for each row?

I really enjoy using Simplifi for managing transactions and getting a high-level view of my finances. However, I also periodically export all of my transactions for backup and additional analysis. Currently there isn't a way to match transactions from previous exports to subsequent ones. Having some type of constant, unique ID for each transaction would really help me in this regard.

Thank you!

@zjs, it would actually be this Idea post you're looking for since you're referring to exporting:

Good find, though, @Flopbot! It's nice that we have an Idea post requesting more details for both importing and exporting. 🙂

The challenge with grouping everything into the "More detailed CSV Exports" topic is that it's quite broad, and you can only upvote the whole topic as opposed to individual parts of it. For example, I would really like to see the original name added, as well as this request for a unique identifier. If they're all lumped into one topic I would think it would be hard to prioritize.

@dave_sxxxxx, you can add a comment that highlights exactly what you're looking for, but for something like this, it is better for the product team to take a look at the functionality as a whole. And the more votes for something, the better! 🙂
