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?

For checking accounts, need an extra column for "Check number". This is present in YNAB4 but as far as I can tell is not present in ActualBudget.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Add an additional column for transactions, "Check Number".

  • The visibility of this column is hidden by default but can be turned on, similar to "Show Running Balance"/"Hide Running Balance"

Teaching and learning

The "Show Check Number"/"Hide Check Number" will be in the same menu as the existing "Show Running Balance"/"Hide Running Balance" so users will find it obvious as it is similar/parallel functionality.

My banks do not provide OFX style export files, barely a CSV. Besides that, the payee can be absent or have a different name than the one I use in my budget. Therefore, I tend to do manual reconciliation. This is greatly helped by entering the transaction number (usually YY/### or YY/#### but it could be arbitrary). The Ynab4 field for that is really useful
