Option to flag various transactions with different coloured flags. Toolkit for YNAB allows you to custom name your flags.

👋 Thanks for the idea @bdoherty , but may I ask: why? What problem would this solve for you?
I'm asking because perhaps there is a better way how we could solve your problem in Actual. Without fully understanding your problem we are unlikely to commit to a solution.
Hope you understand.

I do not want to be a slave to what people have got used to in YNAB but here is their guide to using Flags:

I cannot convince myself that they add much if anything that cannot be achieved in other ways
@YagiOoda commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2023):
I agree- I never used YNAB's flags. One thing that would be nice is that instead of flags like YNAB, we could have autocomplete tags in the note field. For example, than you could group one vacation together with the #2023Carribean or whatever!
@Kidglove57 commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2023):
@YagiOoda I am certainly with you on tags. I add them manually in the notes column and keep track of a number of transaction types in that way. I have two tips for their current use in Actual:
it would be brilliant to have the auto complete feature for tags that you mention!
@rich-howell commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2023):
While this would be nice, one of the core principals of Actual is it's simplicity. I think this would add "clutter" to the screen that only a small portion of users would use, I am also guessing that is why it is in a Toolkit for YNAB and not the core feature set.
@Kidglove57 commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2023):
I think it is the renaming of flags that is in Toolkit but yes, I do agree with you.
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2023):
Looks like we're in agreement here that adding flags to Actual is a wont-fix (wont-do?).
