Allow splitting of the transaction by % for cases where you may be expected to get paid for part of the transaction
additionally

👋 May I ask: why? What problem are you trying to solve with this proposed solution? Generally when you make a transaction: you pay in X amount, not % of X. Same thing about receiving money. You don't get 50% of 1$. You get 50 cents.

@MatissJanis This is for splitting a transaction by % I think, so you could split it based on a % instead of having to work out how much each person should pay.
Maybe you went out for food with friends, you pay the total bill and split it by 5 which is 20% each.
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
Ok, but still in your budget you would see a precise number of how much YOU paid, right? Not the grand-total of all the friends.
Or am I missing something?
@shall0pass commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
If the desire is to split a transaction by %, Actual already supports math inside the cells. So if you had a bill of $50, you could type in "0.2 * 50" for Derek, "0.2 * 50" for Tommy, "0.5 * 50" for Dan, etc.
It doesn't really address sharing the split with a friend, but I don't know what that would look like.
@rich-howell commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
@MatissJanis @shall0pass For a BUDGET I think this request isn't relevant here.
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
@rich-howell you think this is relevant for the transactions table? I see the situation there being the same.
@rich-howell commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
No, I don't think it is relevant at all.
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2023):
Great! So we're in agreement that this is a wont-fix (or wont-do?).
