Add a confirmation dialog before creating new categories from a transaction

Suggestion: if I type something in a category box and it's not a category yet, ask me "Would you like to create a new category for XXXX"?

This would prevent many categories from being created by mistake (usually either a typo, or if by mistake I typed a tag's name into the category box). It would add one more click for the rare occasion when I actually want to create a new one, and save many many clicks for each time I create a category by mistake and then need to go to dig into the settings delete it.

Thanks for your consideration!

    Hi @EL1234, thank you for taking the time to share this suggestion. This is really thoughtful feedback! Just to confirm, you would like a sort of confirmation prompt like "Would you like to create a new category for XXXX?" before automatically creating a new category?

    Once your idea receives enough votes, we will submit the idea to our product development team for consideration.

    Yes exactly. Another idea would be that when a category is created from the transaction list, to show a little prompt that says "Category XX was created, click here to Undo". But would prefer the first approach.
