I'd also be interested in being able to select all categories, but selectively eliminate a few. I.E. Select all Monthly Spending categories, but not my long term goals or income categories. There isn't an easy way to bulk select. This may be outside of the scope of this PR though, since I can't think of any other area of the app that allows this type of interaction so the user interaction code probably isn't written.

I can think of 2 ways to address this:

  • Add a “negate” or similar checkbox to filters
  • Add a way to select category groups in the category picker

(probably both would be needed to get the right behavior here? i.e. select “Income” as the category and then negate)

Given that #1093 covers the PR more directly, how do you feel about reframing this to be about selecting a category group?

Yea, that's fine. Wouldn't be too hard either. I'd suggest adding another option the the filter button main drop down under category as "Category Group". Then an autofill Input with all the group options.
