Option to stop showing the pop up to assign a "New Category rule" (1 Merged Vote)

Every time I assign category to a transaction, I keep getting a pop up that asks for New category rule. It is very annoying. Can we have an option to stop showing it each and every time I update a category on a transaction?

The Rule Suggestion prompt can be disabled by deselecting the checkbox next to the "Create a rule to also rename this payee for future transactions" option when editing or entering the Payee of a downloaded transaction, or by deselecting the checkbox next to the "Create a rule to also use this category for future transactions" option when editing or entering the Category of a downloaded transaction, whichever applies.

    I agree it's annoying; by default, the checkbox to create the rule should be off, but you can uncheck it, and it looks like staying that way.

    They really should make creating rules an option instead of forcing you to make a decision on every transaction!

    This is a terrible feature. It caused my to accidently recategorize 200 transactions! Took about 4 hours to set them back to their original categories.

    This is kind of insane to not have this option. Why are you trying to create a rule based on one-off transactions? Support showed me a way to disable it but it'll come back any time I sign back in... very band-aid approach to fixing things.

    Also, please add the ability to auto-review some categories. I don't want to press 'review' for every time I take the bus! Add an option in the rule to auto-confirm/review.

    This never used to happen and I'm not sure why they implemented this change. It is definitely frustrating and annoying!

    I agree. It makes no sense.

    Definitely needs to be optional.  Rules are great idea but I have too many vendors that use different categories.

    Agree with this being an optional feature within the transaction. Should be able to opt-in / select to make it a rule rather than having to opt-out every single time. Thanks
