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?

At the moment to add a category to my Schedules I need to;

  1. Navigate to the rules
  2. Find the one I created from in Schedules
  3. Add "category" under "Then apply these actions"
  4. Save

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Ability to add a category directly on the add schedule window.

I fully agree! I actually posted this idea on Discord as well a couple days ago, so thanks for filing this.

I already prototyped this locally:

When I have time I'll open a PR.

Just want to revive this old request. Selecting the category directly on schedule creation makes sense to me. I don't quite understand why that currently requires a separate edit of the linked rule.

Is the thought that currently there is already a separate global rule for categorizing based off the payee so that it isn't necessary for the schedule?
