[Feature] Read out what's entered as remittanceInformationStructured when syncing your bank transactions with GoCardless so that it can be imported into the "Notes" section in Actual

• Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, Actual doesn't look at remittanceInformationStructured at any point during bank sync, so it isn't used as part of the notes. At the moment AB only looks at remittanceInformationUnstructured and remittanceInformationUnstructuredArray.
Some banks like the Berliner Sparkasse, a regional Bank in Germany which is part of the nationwide Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe,
will transmit the reason for payment as remittanceInformationStructured.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Ideally, Actual would look at remittanceInformationStructured as well when looking for things to be imported as notes for a transaction.

EDIT: Copying my reply from below here:

The discussion on the discord support channel has shown that it might be better to use the bank integration support instead.

This could be achieved by creating a new bank class similar to the other 2 Sparkasse entries found here:
https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server/tree/master/src/app-gocardless/banks

I would try it myself, but i fear I can't do much besides simply copying one of the already created files [spk-karlsruhe-karsde66.js] or [spk-marburg-biedenkopf-heladef1mar.js] and changing the institutionIds.

If someone more knowledgeable would be so kind and to tackle this, I would be very grateful.

I can provide any infos, logs or or other data you might need for this.
