Category List: Display parent for sub-categories

jsy42

Please update the category list selector to include the parent task. When selecting a category from a transaction, duplicate entries are displayed if you have multiple top-level categories that have sub-categories with the same name (Example - Home:Maintenance and Auto:Maintenance). As a result, you can't tell which is which and therefore must scroll through the entire list to find the parent category and then sub-category.

I would say this would be useful in more than the selector as well. If I have the category set as Auto:Maintenance there is no way to see the parent category in the list transaction activity and even if I go into the detail I can not see the parent.

Hello @jsy42 & @ToddM,

Thanks for sharing your feedback with the Community!

I'd suggest adding your vote and feedback to an existing Idea post requesting a setting that allows the full Category path to be displayed on transactions, and then following it for any future updates:

I hope this helps!
