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?

If a transaction comes in and I find that none of my categories are a good match I would like to be able to add a new category right there in the transaction view.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

When clicking on the category field for a transaction in the accounts view, either right above or below the split option should be a new category option. When clicking on this there would be a pop up letting me pick the category group and then the name of the new category.
