    • Minecraft Name:
      • Expipiplusone
    • Suggestion:
      • Let us personalize the "Comment" field in bank transactions
    • Reason:
      • As of now, when you read your bank history, the only information you get is how much you withdrew/deposited and when, but not why. It would be very convenient to be able to state a reason for that transaction, in order to keep track of it better.
        • For instance, you might withdraw some money to be given to a player who asked you a loan or for any other reason, but weeks later you might not be able to recall what that withdraw was for.
      • What I suggest is this. Instead of the command:
        Code:
        /bank withdraw <amount>
        you would give the command:
        Code:
        /bank withdraw <amount> <reason>
        and what you specify as <reason> would be automatically attached to the automatically generated comment we already have (see in bank history). The same for deposits, of course.
        • If you do not specify a <reason>, the behaviour will just be like now.
    • Any Other Information:
      • n/a
    • Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
      • I think this would be custom, but not that difficult to implement

    +1 sounds like a great idea, as long as it is possible

    I really like this idea if it isn't too much work for Jamie.

    The field addition would be nice but only if it wasn't too much coding work as I don't see the vast majority of players actually using it.

    I could see that this would be extremely difficult for Jamie. However, as long as it isn't a whole new addition, it might not be THAT hard.

    This is entirely dependant on the auto bank api, which we cannot use to do that.

    Technically yes it can be done but I'm not going to worry about doing it because it's not something I have time to do. It would be a completely new feature and would be much harder to implement security wise

    Aw, this is bad news :(
    Ok, then let's try a different approach: would it be possible to add a little [edit] button next to each comment in the bank history? This would not require MC-forum interaction (which is the main source of trouble, if I got it right). This button would enable you to change only the comment field, of course, leaving the amounts untouched. Do you think this is doable?

    Way more work that the previous, sorry but this isn't feasible
