[Cross-Post] [Extension Request] Split Macro / Automated Splits
I already posted this in Suggestions, but someone there recommended I also post this here, as it could make sense as an Extension (if anyone with know-how is motivated to develop something like this). :)
https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/suggestions/17306-feature-request-split-macro-automated-splits
I have transactions that are always split 50/50 between two categories and it would be awesome to be able to create some kind of macro, with a corresponding shortcut key combo to trigger it, that would turn a given transaction into a 50/50 split between the two categories (the categories do not change, only the transaction total changes).
I don't think there is currently a way to do this, but it would definitely save me time if something like this could be implemented someday (where we could customize the splits in order to create different versions of these macros with different proportions)!

Just noting that Support helped me learn that I could use VAT settings to achieve my goal (see above thread for details)! :)

I have re-opened my original thread with some new ideas and reasons for Auto Splits. Since that thread currently has more discussion I put all of my thoughts there, but am re-opening this one as well since different folks might be following here.

As mentioned, any new extension to do this requires MD2024.4 onwards to enable right click context menu actions.

I’ve now supercharged this with
Copy splits
Paste splits
Apply template (from reminders) to splits
Rebalance splits.
