Categories, Tags

For some reason, trying to define a category description longer than 200 characters will trigger the following generic error message: > Invalid value for property 'description'. String must contain at most 200 character(s) (screenshot 1) But when going just at 200 characters or a little under, but still above 140 characters, it will show this more specific error message: > Category description must be less than 140 characters. (screenshot 2) It seems that the generic string check is performed first… but it should show the strongest requirement to avoid wasting time of user trying to fit one, then the other. Also, since exactly 140 chars is allowed, error message should say "at most" instead of "must be less" (less being a strict comparison in English).

I have some rules set up whereby transactions are tagged so I can flag for my wife shared items. For attribution purposes I split larger items back into smaller items often when splitting or doing reimbursement or when things are like larger. Two things are a bit annoying, especially in the mobile Ui: Transaction tags are not maintained The tag row is not an option in that Split View for me to even manually apply on mobile

Add a switch on the Set up/Tags page to Lock and Unlock add new tags. Currently, if I type in a tag name incorrectly, it automatically accepts the typo as a new tag. It would be better if we could lock and unlock tag editing at our discretion.

I made my budget without using the already built budget with category icons. I want to add them now and I can't figure out how unless I add another budget to my existing one and do a bunch of merging. Can you make category icons an option for adding later.

I contribute a set amount to my IRA every month. I want this transaction to show up as an expense in my Spending Breakdown - I want to see that I'm sending money here every month. But at the same time, I don't want this to count as an expense in the "Period Summary" - I want my "Savings Rate" to reflect how much my net worth is growing over time and I want to track that savings rate on a monthly basis. I could mark the category as "exclude from totals", but then it won't show up in my Spending Breakdown. And if I don't mark it as "exclude from totals", it shows up in the spending breakdown as I'd like but it's counted as an expense for the savings rate calculation. One possible solution is the ability to mark the category as "savings" - these categories would show up like an expense in the spending breakdown but not count as an expense (or be tallied separately somehow) in the period summary. There might be other similar solutions that achieve roughly the same thing.

Introduce the option for additional subcategory levels, allowing for nested categories to better organize expenses.

I have tags for "Needs", "Wants", and "Savings", but I have around 60+ categories separated under 20 category groups. I can create a rule for each individual category, but I would love to create a rule for an entire category group. For example, adding a "Needs" tag to my entire "Bills" group (containing 9 categories) and adding a "Wants" tag to my entire "Hobbies" group (containing 10 categories). This would massively streamline my rules and would save me a ton of setup time :)

At the moment if a category is part of a category group, its properties can only be inherited from the category group properties. It would be ideal to be able to set/unset properties from specific categories in a group. E.g. if I don't want to have food delivery added to the budget and/or totals of the food category group
