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 in the Payees Management Tab there is the handy feature to Merge Payees.
This combines all rules onto one Payee.
Additionally you can rename Payees there.

However if you rename a payee or merge payees there is no way to create the payee renaming rules.

This is different behaviour than in the Budget overview, where you can rename/change a payee. And if the original name was the last of its kind it will ask if the system should create the neccesarry "renaming" rule.

This behaviour is also mentioned here:
https://actualbudget.org/docs/budgeting/rules/#automatic-rules

It would be nice if this popup would also appear in the payee overview if payees are merged or renamed!

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Provide the same automatic renaming popup as currently available in the budget page when renaming the last case.

Teaching and learning

The feature already exists on a different screen, and is described in the Actual Documentation.

No further discovery assistance is needed.

Is this something that would get approved? I would be willing to try and implement this myself!
