Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/7171

What happened?

I was trying to add a transaction with a provided category through the API client.
Expected: transaction to be created with the provided category
Actual: rules are applied

Suggestion: "runRules()" should not override non-null fields

How can we reproduce the issue?

Add rule if payee is P -> set category to C
Use api client add transaction
Provide any category id does not match C. Provide payee_name P
Observe transaction always added with category C

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other

Operating System

Linux
