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?

For e.g subscriptions, it would be useful to be able to apply a budget template to an entire category, but not necessarily the entire budget. For example, my grocery bill is very low this month, alongside several other bills. I don't want to apply my budget template to my Frequent category, but I do want it to apply to my Subscriptions category, which is unchanging. If I applied it to the whole budget, it would overwrite the existing money I have allocated. It is tedious to manually apply the template to each subscription.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

CleanShot 2024-07-12 at 09 56 21@2x
Include a button here to "Apply budget template to category"

Teaching and learning

Include in documentation for budget templates, when they are finished

Adding to this, would be nice if one could have an option to multi-select categories and/or groups where to apply a template. Attached a screenshot to show how it's done on the Other App.
