Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have 2 rules that add tags to the transaction notes. If the transaction meets both conditions I want to apply both rules.

Example: The imported payee is "A new Bank 1 transfer to Person 1". I have a rule "if 'Bank 1' then add '#bank1'" And another "if 'Person 1' then add '#person1'"

Currently, there is only a set option so it overrides the first rule.

I can't keep the payee unchanged because I would have a billion payees. I can't use a single rule to add "#bank1 #person1" because I would need a billion rules for every possibility.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Instead of only set, we can have concat, insert into, and other string manipulation functions

A regex match and replace would also work
