Feature Request: Multi-payer support

Open shmshd opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Allow an expense to have multiple payers. This would make it easier to split bills that are paid by multiple people in a single transaction. Currently, managing this scenario requires creating individual expenses for each payer, which can be a bit of a hassle. I am not aware of any other workaround for this scenario.

The default could be a single paidBy in the dropdown box as currently, with the existing "advanced splitting options" enabling paidBy to be split across multiple participants via input boxes next to each participant.

Multi-payer support would induce many changes in the code and how the data is stored, as well as in the user experience. I think it’s an interesting feature, but I’m not sure yet it is worth the price in term of complexity.

@scastiel this is a key feature for people coming from Splitwise like me. My use case is very commonly that I pay for an expense with a shared account with my wife, which makes it a hassle if we are in a shared spliit group. Could we considering closing this with the linked PR? Thanks, would love to hear your opinion
