Add “Add category to budget” option (with transaction amount suggestion) when categorizing a transaction
Feature request:
When I update or categorize a transaction, I can assign a category, but there’s currently no way to immediately add that category to the budget (or update its budgeted amount) with a suggested value based on the transaction amount.
Current friction:
Categorize a transaction.
Switch to the Budget tab.
Scroll to find (or create) the category.
Manually enter a budget amount.
Often realize I’ve forgotten the exact transaction amount and have to switch back to Transactions to check it.
Proposed improvement:
After selecting or creating a category on a transaction, show a simple option such as:
“Add this category to budget” (or “Update budget for this category”)
Pre-fill the suggested amount with the transaction’s amount (or a rounded/reasonable default)
Let me confirm or edit the amount in place before saving
This would keep the flow inside the transaction view and eliminate the constant tab-switching and amount lookup.
Thank you!
