Suggest budget changes - Githubissues

JC5 commented 6 years ago

Suggest user changes or updates budgets:

When user sets a budget for amount more than last time (or last x times)
When budget is spent, ask to move money from other budgets. Auto-suggest correct amount.
When user forgets to set money, but had money last time.

Hello, I am not sure if I have a bug that is linked to this: At the beginning of the month I set 50€, then some days later I changed it to 200€. Now I see two lines, is it normal? I prefer to see only the last one.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

It's not normal. It is supposed to be impossible but it happens every now and then. I shall try to make sure that in the future, such double entries get cleared up automatically.

jinformatique commented 6 years ago

I don't know if this is linked or not but I have a full page with budgets. I made as many budget as I have categories.

There are 2 things:

On my second budget line, I have put an amount (243), and each time I change page and come back, the amount is at 1 instead of 243. This drives me nuts!
As my list of budget is so long, I have 2 pages and on the second page I have one budget. Then the graph at the top does only take into account the budget from the second page and not from all the other budget entries. And now that we are on February, I cannot go on second page of January, as it redirect me on February each time, I have to manually add (?page=2) in the URL. It would be better to not have pagination for budget page.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

You second budget line, you mean the second budget in the list?
I can fix the problems you mention. Pagination I cannot help I'm afraid. Creating so many budgets, especially when they are equal to your categories, is not something that many users do.

jinformatique commented 6 years ago

Each time I put a value in it: budget2

I go on another page, dashboard, or categories, or whatever, when I come back, it's like this:

budget1

In fact, I deleted this budget line and recreated again. It's working now. But to test, I put the same amount on the first and third line, and then when I try to change it, I cannot as it stays the same value I entered the first time. So what I understand here is that only the first entry is taken into account, then we cannot change it.

Creating so many budgets, especially when they are equal to your categories, is not something that many users do.

I prefer to stick to the method as described by YNAB. There is a rule "Give Every Dollar A Job". So I created as many envelope as I have categories. This way I can track every euro spent.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

Could you try the following.

In another tab, click the version number (bottom right) to go to the debug screen.
In the first tab, change the amount like you demonstrate in the screenshot. Do nothing else.
Refresh the debug page. Copy both boxes here in a reply.

With a little luck the log file shows more details and I can see what is going on exactly.

I compared them, and they are identical. I changed page and came back on budget page to see that my amounts were reseted again at the previous entry. I checked the debug and it's the same.

I tried to do the same on the demo version and there it's working fine. So I guess my best option would be to delete all my budget list and start over for January.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

I will do some debugging using sqlite, see if I can find what is going on.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

Oh, and could you share the content of the second box? Not the first one, but the second one with the log entries.

You can also share it over email (thegrumpydictator@gmail.com) or share the latest log file whole. I think something is going wrong but I can't put my finger on it.

jinformatique commented 6 years ago

Hello James, on version 4.7.0 I still cannot change a budget that was already set. Is it still linked to sqlite? I hope you can fix the bug for the next release. It would be great.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

I believe this is fixed for the next release but I will double check this and get back to you this evening.

JC5 commented 6 years ago

I have verified that this will work as expected in the next release.
