Notes for Individual Recurring Transactions

Can you make it so that we can edit the Notes individually for each recurring transaction without unlinking it first?

Transactions from recurring items to have their own notes

It's very good that I can create transactions from recurring items, inheriting the recurring item data (it would be awesome if they coud inherit also Tags from it).
But I think that I should still be able to edit at least the notes of each transaction, independently from the recurring item, to fill in information specific to that ocurrence in particular, for example, the number of instalment

While I can see how it can be useful to have a "Notes" or "Description" field for the recurring transaction
per se
show up in the Recurring Transactions list, I don't really see the point of having a single constant "Note" that gets attached to each and every instance of the recurring transaction without modification. I would expect the "Notes" field for a transaction that's associated with a recurrence to be the place to write any information about this particular instance, such as the fact that I'm backdating an instance of a weekly charitable donation because I had been sick the prior week, or if I had a variable-amount recurrence for my weekly grocery trip I might want to put a list of specific purchases in the Notes field. It's not often that I want to attach a note to a recurring transaction, as most of my recurring transactions are ones I've set up to happen automatically and so
are
the same every time, but when there's something worth noting it's always an unpleasant surprise that I can't
. The idea of an individual transaction not being able to override any
information from the recurrence it is linked to is unintuitive to start with, and that goes double for the Notes field.
