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:

  1. Categorize a transaction.

  2. Switch to the Budget tab.

  3. Scroll to find (or create) the category.

  4. Manually enter a budget amount.

  5. 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!
