feat: Support tags

Open balthild opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Prerequisites

  • [X] I have searched for existing issues that already include this feature request, without success.

Describe the Feature Request

Add a "Tags" property in addition to category and note.

Difference from category: one entry can have multiple tags.

Difference from note: tags are predefined.

Describe the Use Case

For example, I can define some tags:

  • With family
  • With friends
  • Alone
  • Mexican
  • France
  • Italian

All the related entries are in "Foods" category. When adding an entry, I can pick some tags to describe the cases, without having to write a note manually for each of them.

Hi, good idea!

Just off the top of my head, it seems like the problem we're solving here is having more than one layer of organization for transactions. So maybe instead of tagging, having a folder system for categories would be better? Not sure.

I feel like it would be hard for users to differentiate between tags and categories. Not sure about this either.

I think mult-layer categories are not sufficient. For example, one may have such transactions:

  • Italian food, with family
  • Italian food, with family & friends
  • Italian & France food (a same restaurant have both types of dishes), with family
  • Italian & France food, with family & friends

Mult-layer categories works for the first transaction, but not the others.

Good point! Will put it on the roadmap.
