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 assigning categories to a transaction from the dropdown, hidden categories are not shown. This is frustrating if a user wants to assign a hidden category and means they have to type the entire category name in.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The dropdown should show hidden categories. Perhaps there can be an option in the settings to turn this functionality on in case it interrupts current workflows for users.

Teaching and learning

Release notes should detail change so users aren't confused. If a setting is implemented, include information about this in the documentation.
