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?

In the schedule screen, I have the option to move the schedule before or after the weekend.
I'd like to add Public holidays that work in the same way to this.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I'm envisaging an option in the settings for the budget to enter the relevant public holidays - e.g. in England there's 8 a year you would need to add.

Then, the move before/after weekend label would need to say weekend & public holidays

Then, it would work as expected - shifting before or after as appropriate.

Teaching and learning

I think changing the label makes it visible to anyone using the feature - we should update documentation as well for the relevant part.

Instead of (or in addition of) entering holidays by hand, it would be handy if we could import iCal files, as those are an often used format for calendar data and there are many websites which offer public holidays for various locations in .ICS files.

It would also allow one to create a custom holiday calendar via a calendar app, export it and then import it into Actual.
