Transfers #194

Open lapo-gh opened 11 months ago

lapo-gh commented 11 months ago

As I see it, transfers are always occurring between accounts already present in OpenBudgeteer (otherwise, they can be set as "bills"). I think that the current way of adding a transfer between accounts is a bit not-intuitive and cumbersome. A better way to do it would be to have a second account drop-down appear when the bucket is selected as transfer. And this should generate two transactions (one outgoing from account A and one incoming to account B). I hope it makes sense.

I fully got the point. I need to think about the best way how to do it (visually), because I would need to offer two options: Either create a second transaction automatically or select an existing transaction (from an import) and assign it also to bucket Transfer. This would "theoretically" also prevent data inconsistencies.

Technically possible for sure. I will put it in my backlog and let's see how I will implement it...
