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 I'm creating or processing an imported transaction, and would like to add the transaction to a new category, make it possible to create the category inline without having to leave the transactions list. This is currently possible for Payee.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

  1. Provide a text box where you can enter : as a string (e.g. utilities:electric)
  2. Provide a dialog with a drop-down for the parent and text box for the new category
