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'm creating a transaction via the "APIs" and would like to be able to provide a link in the transaction notes field that I can click on later to be taken into this other application. In the screenshot below you can see how I'm sending the Markdown link format, but its not rendering into a clickable link.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

There are already many fields in Actual that allow Markdown formats. Please extend that to the notes fields.

Teaching and learning

It would be documented just like the Tags are.
