Transfers created from a Split Transaction should show Flags in the register (edited)
Reposting from per @Coach Jon 's instructions
The transaction I'm trying to modify is a transfer to a manual account, and it was created by splitting a transaction that was downloaded from a bank.
When I hover over this transaction, there's no checkbox or flag icon to select the transaction or edit the flag. When opening the transaction, I can edit the flag, but when I save and close the transaction, no flag is displayed in the list. In addition, when my transaction list is filtered to show transactions without a flag, this transaction is displayed. When I open the transaction again I do see the flag I have selected, but that doesn't help me very much.
I also noticed that when I open the manual transaction, it seems to show me the original automatic transaction for the full amount - not the partial amount created when I split the original and categorized one part as a transfer. So maybe I'm flagging the wrong one which is why it doesn't show when I close it. And when I click to go to the other side of the transfer, it doesn't let me save any changes. I get this error: Cannot update transaction "XXXXX.", the other side of the transfer is in a split. To update it, edit the transfer transaction in the transfer account
This new issue is frustrating since I use this manual account to track reimbursable expenses, which sometimes originate from splits, and I flag the transactions once I've received the reimbursement. I filter by transactions without flags to see which transactions still require reimbursement (which is why I use flags and not tags, since there's no way to filter by transactions without a specific tag).
I'm pretty sure this used to work and so I hope that you add it back in!
Thank you in advance.
