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?

I would like to add a payee to my list of payees so that I can set up rules for it, however there are currently no transactions in my budget which use this new payee.

I would like to be able to manually add the payee so that I can create the new rules for it without creating a transaction.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The idea solution to this problem would be to add an "Add Payee" button next to the "Category learning settings" at the bottom of the screen. This would allow users to have full control of their payees from the payee window.

I would be willing to make this myself but I'm a backend programmer and have never built a website of my own. 🙂

Teaching and learning

This would be self-explanatory and would not require any extra tutorials. The necessary mention in the documentation would be required but would be simple and succinct.
