Link from Transaction to 'take from' or 'add to' Savings Goal (1 Merged Vote)

What's up with this year's old request? I'm a new user and Quicken Simplifi seems really great, except for this missing functionality. I can categorize a transaction towards a savings goal, so you're halfway there. Why doesn't that categorization on a spend or deposit transaction add or decrease the amount saved to the goal? What's the plan there?

I wish I had made screenshots each month of contributions to goals, and available $$ left. As it is, looking at previous-year budgets is HUGELY misleading because that unknown amount of money that was set toward goals now shows as left-over money. Moving forward, I'll make those screenshots.

Did the previous contributions disappear because you deleted the old Savings Goals? Or for some other reason?

If it was because you deleted the no-longer-needed goal (as I have done and now regret), you might be interested in this discussion:
