@Noisycall could you try something similar to what's used in the demo. Also use something like Expenses:Food, I don't know if the issue is due to just using Expenses without any sub-account name.

You are right, I don't know why I didn't try this, but I didn't realize this would be a special case. Thanks! Would category-less be considered something that would be added.

I would suggest just using a generic name like Expenses:All, that would work out for your intended use case, assuming you are not interested in the breakdown. Supporting only the top level would be tricky and not worth the effort from my perspective as there is a clean workaround.

Cool. Makes sense. Thanks again 👍🏻
