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?

Creating rules for payees is tedious. To simply add an category rule the user must issue six clicks for each payee and apply the rule. In addition, the checkbox icons are small and difficult to click. The 'Apply Rules' button feels redundant.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

  1. Allow users to bulk create rules. From the Payee tab, user should be able to select multiple payees and apply categorization upon them. This would create (or apply/create condition) for each payee
  2. Either remove the 'Apply Action' button and have the action apply automatically to checked transactions when saved, or have transactions marked by default.
  3. Allow the user to create a rule directly from the transactions tab when categorizing a transaction
  4. Make the checkbox icon bigger

Teaching and learning

If bulk edit is implemented, mention it in the on-boarding section
