  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

There is a non-profit for which I have monthly recurring donations configured. I donate equal amounts to two separate funds at this non-profit, so my budget has pairs of transactions that look like this:

Date Account Payee Notes Category Payment
2024-10-01 Checking Non Profit general fund charity 50.00
2024-10-01 Checking Non Profit special fund charity 50.00
2024-09-01 Checking Non Profit general fund charity 50.00
2024-09-01 Checking Non Profit special fund charity 50.00
2024-08-01 Checking Non Profit general fund charity 50.00
2024-08-01 Checking Non Profit special fund charity 50.00

Actual did find the "I donate to Non Profit every month on the first of the month" schedule, but it only created one scheduled like that and then linked them all. I want to have two separate schedules, and yes, I can make a second one, but then I don't know what to link to which since the notes field isn't visible.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Show the notes field in the schedule edit/linking view so I know which ones to link/unlink.
