  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

The feature would allow users to assign a Category to a Schedule and the schedule would automatically contribute to the "Budgeted" amount for that Category in the Budget view. This would reduce the work of adding all of the schedules as a "Goal Template".

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Hi,

This can already be done.

  1. After saving the schedule, click to edit it again.

  2. Click on 'Edit as rule'.

  1. Then you can add Set category.

PS: Although the second part of this idea - to add it to the automatically to the budgeted amount would not of course be achieved.
