What is the point of having an 'others' category if the user can also leave the category variable blank? Should be one or the other.

Team's Response

This was a intentional design choice as it grants the users more flexibility to use OTHERS as a specific category they want, and to differentiate it from transactions that they do not want to label with any categories.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

Reason for disagreement: Thank you for the explanation but as the user it still does not make sense to me. I would assume that the point of having categories would be to filter out specific records, so for records in the categories that are not included by default by the dev team, they could be filtered out using "OTHERS". From the user perspective, it does not make sense to have 'OTHERS' and then also have no category label attached.

"Others" is usually used to collectively refer to all things that do not fit in categories given, so the user may be confused as well because of the wording.
