Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Hi! All the templates pass the check but when I try to apply them to single categories I get an error message saying "Something internally went wrong. You may want to restart the app if anything looks wrong. Please report this as a new issue on GitHub".
Restarting the app had no effect. Templates work properly if I try to apply them to the whole budget instead of specific categories.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Here's a short video showing the issue. As you can see, templates (different types) pass the check but they only work when applied to the entire budget, giving an error message when trying to apply them to single categories.

You're not applying to categories you are applying to groups. That has been fixed and will be in the next release.
