"Last period's budgeted" defaults to primary currency

I have about 50% of my budget each month set across different categories in EUR, but i default by overall budget currency to USD. Using the "Last Period's Budget" option on a new month's categories pull the category budget over in USD not EUR even when the category last period was set in EUR. Quite annoying. Example - I have a category called Entertainment that I routinely budget say 100 EUR in each month, in EUR. When I go to fill in next month's budget, and use "Last Month's Budget" it will show and fill in as the USD-converted value, like $122 and not €100. Makes having to rebuild each month's budget by category quite time consuming as I have to go back a month and see the original EUR amount and type it in by hand. (This also would be fixed if I could set the EUR annual amount for categories and have it populate each month automatically). In any case, can you please have the system realize that if last month's budget was set in a specific currency, the option to apply it to this month should remain in that currency.

This has been resolved in release #267. "Last period's budgeted" now preserves the originally entered amount and currency!
Thanks to everyone who reported and voted on this!

"Last period's budgeted" preset should respect currency

On the Budget page, the budget preset "Last period's budgeted" always sets the budgeted amount in the primary currency. If last period's budgeted was €500, but your primary currency is USD, it will convert the €500 to USD and set the amount in USD. Instead, it should not do any conversions, and just the the budgeted amount as it was in the previous period (i.e. €500).
