Description

Have the option to set the amount of cycles (repeats) for a repeating transaction.

Use Case

On many countries it's common to pay the full price of a product distributed in a fixed amount of months, 3, 6, 9, 12. As a user when making such transaction would be helpful to establish the end of the repeating input, so you wouldn't have to remember to remove a transaction once the period has ended.

Solution

How I imagine this being implemented:

Input a transaction (spend) of let's say $100
Mark transaction as repeating
Set it to Monthly
Set it to 3 Cycles to record only transaction and repeat it on the following two months.
Once 3 iterations of the transaction occur, stop scheduling it.

Those seem to be different — this one is about stoping a schedule automatically while #308 is about changing the interval it which a schedule repeats.

My bad, linked the wrong thing.

Here's the PR with ongoing work to make "stop transaction scheduling after X transactions" work: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/407
