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 Accounts, only the Category is displayed. If 2 different Category Groups have the same Category, then it is confusing to view.
2 Children with a Category Group for each. Both have School Category and in the accounts it shows only School.
It should show Category Group: Category e.g. Child 1: School and Child 2: School

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

In the Category column, just add additionally the Category Group.
Can also have an option in settings to enable/disable this depending how people want to view it.

Teaching and learning

https://actualbudget.org/docs/budgeting/categories or https://actualbudget.org/docs/settings/ can have this documented
