Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

A bug happened!

I have a rule that

Firstly it applies "IF... of these conditions match:"

Secondly, Then apply these actions "It applies to add the transaction into a category"

But the second part of the rule doesn't work and the transaction isn't assigned to a category.

You can see it in the picture.

Would you be able to provide a sample budget that we can recreate this bug with please? I've got many similar rules and they work well.

Just to check what it might be @auyvz ... is it imported transactions you're trying to run this rule on or transactions you entered manually? If its transactions you entered then the condition should be payee contains instead of imported payee contains.

If that isn't the case, you can create a new sample budget that has the issue (so that you aren't sharing your real budget with all your personal data), and then export it following the steps on https://actualbudget.org/docs/backup-restore/backup
