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 exporting or creating reports, we often want transactions only for current financial year. Actual supports "year to date" or "this year" filters, but they start from Jan 1. Often, in many countries, financial years don't start from January.

Presently, I've added manual filters with date (such as FY23-24 in India).

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

A setting to define fiscal year would be very helpful, somewhere near the number formatting setting, or in advanced. Changing it should update reports, transactions list.

Ideally, we should be able to handle case of financial year changing, but I think that will unnecessarily complicate things, given it doesn't happen often.

I'm not sure if it should replace "this year" or "year to date" filters. It would be helpful to know how people use them when they doesn't match the financial year.
