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?

My bank has the entry of this type,both for payee and notes:

Pagamento tramite POS DATA/ORA OP.: 01/07/2024 08.58.00

So that, even the same place have a new Payee created beacuse the fist part of the entry has the fixed sentence plus date time.
It would be great if a rule or something can be specified to extract just what suppose to stay in the payee and what goes to notes.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

A rule that is triggered "after" syncing.
that allows to:

  • regexp on the payee field in order to extract the text that one wants to keep
  • regexp on the note field in order to extract the text that one wants to keep

Teaching and learning

Add this under rules.
