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'm contemplating taking a screen shot of my reports page to use as context for a question I wish to pose to an forum on the web. I can use the privacy filter to squiggle-out the dollar amounts, but I noticed that one of my account names is a five-letter initialism for a credit union. This could conceiveably be used to determine which city I live in, which I wish to keep private.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

In addition to squiggling-out the dollar amounts, change the privacy filter to also squiggle-out the account names.
