What happened?
When using the
#goaldirective, it fails when adding symbols such as $ or , to your currency.Normal
#templatedirectives allow for formatting your currency so you can put#template 500,#template $500or#template $5,000.00but with the#goaldirective, you can only use the first format.The documentation does not clarify this limitation, and implies that you can use formatting with
#goalthe same was as you can with#templateWhere are you hosting Actual?

@youngcw commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2024):
Commas don't work and will fail parsing even in template lines. That limitation is in the docs already. There really isn't a reason to add the currency symbol since "$" is the only one supported anyway. Really we should make any currency symbol fail the parsing and not be allowed anywhere since it doesn't do anything useful. In the future once there is a gui that wont be used anyway.
Feel free to update the docs to add that extra part about the goals.
