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 using schedules for scheduled but variable expenses e.g. CC payment schedules, users need to:

  1. Post preview transaction
  2. Edit posted transaction amount
  3. (Mobile) Save the transaction

This could potentially be simplified by allowing users to configure schedules to ask for the actual amount when posting transactions

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

In the schedules edit form, add a setting to the amount field to "Prompt for actual amount when posting". Then, when users post the preview transaction for this schedule, Actual should present an input to enter the actual amount of the transaction.
