Auto-complete for income entries?

Postby Tue » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:55 am

I have enabled auto-complete and it works perfectly for expenses. However, it doesn't work for income entries. Is this WAD or is there some setting I'm missing?

It works for me. As soon as I type the first letter in the "From" line, I get a suggested entry that gets closer as I type each succeeding letter. The only time it doesn't is if I start with a letter not used previously.

I get suggestions too, but only those used previously as an expense. All previous income-entries are somehow forgotten.

Entries for the To: and From: lines are in the same database on my copy of PMiOS. Go to Settings>Managed Lists>Payees and you should find them listed. Here is a suggestion: prefix each income source wit an "x" so that they are all grouped together in the Payees list. Or enclose the name in parenthesis, and they should be grouped together at the TOP of the list.

Hmm, I don't. I have manually typed it in for the past two years but it hasn't been added to the DB apparently. The "Add new items to lists" was turned off - I suppose this is why. :)
