Web App: Display the full category path when searching the categories list on transactions
On the web version, while in a transaction, when you select a category, you can only see the category name, not the parent category name. This can be confusing. For instance, with these categories:
- Donations > Gifts
- Personal Income > Gifts
Awhile ago I was thinking that Simplifi didn't allow two categories with the same name (even if under different subcategories). It seems to let you do that now. However, that wouldn't be a good solution anyway, because it's not clear on which category it belongs.
Note: Originally I commented on this post because I thought it was the same issue, but the OP is asking for a different format, a category tree.

I also had the same ask of showing the full category path, so thanks for addressing this. But category names (and potentially ambiguous duplicate names) show up in lots of places in the user interface. Are all of these places being changed to show the full category path?
