Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I used the check templates feature to verify a template that I modified was correct. After seeing it passed, I attempted to apply it and received an error. I would expect the error to have been caught.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Add these budget templates to a category:

#template 100 up to 1000
#template 100 up to 2500

Then check and apply the templates.

Where are you hosting Actual?

None

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

None

Check templates only checks syntax. Other validation is done by the actual template processing code. Once the GUI for templates is finished this won't be a problem anymore.
