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?

When creating new transactions if I mistype the payee and tab over to the notes or amount fields, the mistyped payee is created immediately. If the payee is then corrected, a new rule is created for this mistyped payee.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I propose that the new payee is only created once the transaction is saved, thus reducing the chance of creating a new payee in error. This is how YNAB handles this behaviour.
