Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Hello,

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, but I think templates should respect the numbers formatting.
For instance, if I set the format to 1.000,33, I would expect to be able to define templates such as :

#template 24,99

But this raises an error (45bfd23daa/packages/loot-core/src/server/budget/template-notes.ts (L70)).

It works correctly if I use :

#template 24.99

Thank you in advance,
David

How can we reproduce the issue?

In the settings, change the numbers format to 1.000,33.
Create a template for a category using the same format, for instance :

#template 24,99

Execute the Check templates (from the menu associated to the current month).

Where are you hosting Actual?

None

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Operating System

None

The docs say that only decimal period works. Once there is a GUI this will work as you are expecting, but that may be a while.

Indeed I missed the note in the docs, sorry for the noise.
Looking forward to the GUI.
