[Discussion] Skip "Create expense" when clicking "mark as paid"? #220

Open Shoggomo opened 1 month ago

When clicking the "mark as paid" button in the Balances tab we get directed to a prefilled "Create expense" form. I assume, that the prefilled data should be correct for most cases (provided #197 is fixed). So I think we could skip this form, create the expense automatically and keep the user in the balance tab, so the result can be seen.

Possible changes to this expense can still be made from the Expenses tab. What do other people think? Is the direction to the "Create expense" form, when clicking the "mark as paid" button, useful, or should we skip it?

I would suggest to keep it the way it is.

Doing so allows to directly add recipe for the payment if wanted and check the data for the reimbursement.

But one could argue, that if the This is a reimbursement is checked, saving would redirect to Balance instead to Expense.

I agree with @CarliJoy. I like to double-check things and this screens allows me to do so. Furthermore I can add a more specific title if I want to or attach a document (maybe PayPal screenshot).
