As a work around
you can use a workflow to convert via a transform record
from a credit memo

interesting

add a check box to your credit memo called "to be refunded" and then update it via CSV to set that.

I think a portion of the reason for it is that sometimes customer refunds are issued via CC
which wouldn't necessarily work well with a CSV import.
I'd want to try it on a very limited basis if that was the case with someone who wouldn't pitch a fit if it went wrong.

makes sense i may play around with that idea in a sandbox
thank you so much

@bputnam I just did a data migration do this exact process
we had pre-exiting cash sales, put a checkbox on it "To be refunded", and then mass update to trigger workflow to transform records. Worked great
i can share bundle with your sandbox if you'd like

sound super interesting and would be awesome to check it out!
