SUMMARY
Provide a way to designate some categories/accounts as placeholders only. Block any attempts to add transactions to the placeholder accounts. 

Will make the reports easier to read as the placeholder accounts should not show anything in the columns across the table. Will also help keep the accounts more organized. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the categories section
2. Edit a category
3. Go to a report like income/expense report. notice that the parent accounts have a value. Assuming the parent accounts should not have a value. 

OBSERVED RESULT
You are not able to designate an account/category as a placeholder.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Jack 2022-11-14 21:03:22 UTC

This might be a duplicate, as there have been requests to allow configuring Categories not to be used in any new transactions.  (They could also not be added to any existing transaction.)  A similar restriction could also be useful for Payees.
