Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have a number of split transactions in my accounts. I would like the default behavior to be that all entered split transactions are defaulted to collapsed once entered. Once entered I don't need to know the split breakup every time the account transaction screen is displayed. I find the default behavior of expanding the split transaction(s) makes the transaction screen ugly and obviously expands the page and shows less transactions without having to scroll.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I would like to see at least the option of once the split transaction has been entered that the transaction is collapsed rather than expanded by default. I think it should stay collapsed as if I need to check the details of the split I can expand it when required. But otherwise it should stay collapsed.

Teaching and learning

There is already a split transaction > v icon next to "split". This perhaps could be made larger and more obvious. However I think its already fairly obvious.

I think a toggle already exists for this in the top right!

If you click that button, all splits will be collapsed by default.
