As per title, allow modifying of properties of accounts after creation. Some may have downstream effects, so processing or restricting based on those

Looking at the types that can be configured:

  • Name: accounts can be renamed already
  • Type: this appears to only be used in the mobile account list, maybe we can drop it entirely?
  • On/Off Budget: can’t be changed currently, might make sense? (workaround: create a new account and then bulk move the transactions over in “all accounts”)
  • Balance: just edit the starting balance transaction or add new transactions

I came to this feature request because was looking for a way to change On/Off Budget (useful while you are still figuring out how you structure your budgets across accounts).
Great that there is a workaround, but also it might make sense implementing it via a button in the dropdown, above "Close account".

Opened https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/753 to track adding docs for on/off budget not being changeable and calling it out when creating an account.
