Feedback from users:

  • "there seems to be no way to assign them to a budget category until after it has gone into the account register"
  • it's extra steps and it obfuscates which Schedules really do have custom conditions and actions when the only "custom" thing is adding a category.
  • I have gone through and set up a bunch of my scheduled transactions that I had in YNAB, and it was a pain to create the schedule, save it, then go back into the schedule, "Edit as rule" and then add the category (and note), then you have 2 "​save" buttons to hit before you're done.
  • Maybe there's a design or functionality reason I'm just missing, but Category is, it seems to me, a fundamental property of every transaction and it should be settable as a default property.

Along the ability to create a split, as with category assignments in the register, please.
