Description Thomas Baumgart 2020-04-03 04:22:50 UTC
When using VAT split, the second line of the ledger entry changes from showing the category (e.g" Vehicle:fuel") to just showing "split transaction". This is both on the ledger second line, and in the ledger detail edit fields below.

Since (almost) everything has VAT, this is completely useless, as now I can't see what category it is until I edit right into the split dialog.

What I would like is to see:

"Vehicle:fuel , GST Paid"

("GST Paid" is the VAT category)

I don't think this is just for VAT splits.  Any split transaction shows the same problem.  (I used to sometimes see the details in a popup when hovering the mouse over the transaction in the ledger, but I don't see it at all recently, and it was never consistent.)  A similar issue is when looking at investment transactions in the brokerage account - it says "Investment transaction" instead of giving any of the details such as investment transaction type.
