BUG: Export of V7 --> import into V8: Multi-line notes don't import full note

Hi there, I think I've experienced a couple of bugs... I'll only outline one below, followed by what may be a feature request.

I've been trying to transition from V7 to V8beta, and of the two export/import attempts I've attempted, they have both gone wrong. The most recent attempt (accepting all defaults from the v7 export) resulted in the loss of all but the last line (i believe) of a multi-line note. I would think that the entire note should get imported.

Also, it seems that, in V8beta, the notes (from V7) get imported to the "shared notes" section, rather than the private (non-shared) notes section. That seems backwards to me, though there may be some logic to it that I'm not privy to. I think it would be best to give the person doing the import the choice of which "note" field should get populated ("Shared", or not-shared).

Thanks!

We have an open issue for the first issue you mention, the note is actually fully imported, the input is just not resizing to show you the full contents, if you focus the field and scroll down you should see the rest. We will have a fix out for that in a day or so.

The second issue about notes (private) vs shared notes is defaulted to shared to match expectations from v7, all notes were shared so when we had early testers try it out they were surprised that they weren't already shared. We have an issue opened to implement the behavior you recommended - prompt on import from v7 for which one is the default.

Great news, on both of my comments, thanks!

One other question (regarding the "notes" fields)... In V7, those were "redacted", or masked, but not in V8. Any way that could also be brought forward to the new version? I really relied on that feature.
