Bug 507122

Hello,

> EXPECTED RESULT
>When it is unselected, the Detail cell should show something like "Split Transaction" (I believe prior versions did this, but I don't recall the specific words).

If i am not wrong, your expected result is the normal behavior for version 5.1.3
Your observed result is not a bug, but an implemented wish which has been released in 5.2.0, see release notes here : https://kmymoney.org/2025/06/21/kmymoney-5-2-0-released.html
And specifically this bug/wish: 419570 Provide split category detail instead of fixed text 'Split transaction', see link https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419570

if you read this, you may want to close this bug as "resolved" -> "not a bug".

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! Thanks for pointing out bug 419570, that explains the new functionality.

However, I think there is a problem with it. When the "Show all split details in ledger" option is unselected, I see all the split details. When the option is selected, the details line in the ledger is empty. That seems backwards. So I think that should be reversed so that the setting does not do the opposite of what it says. Perhaps there's some specific conditional that is triggering this in my case; it seems unlikely this would not have been caught earlier when the feature was first implemented.

And then I also think that when choosing not to show all split details in the ledger, it should still say "Split transaction" instead of a empty cell; that just seems a little nicer.

Difference of show all split details being off or on

I think there is some misunderstanding here. The option controls if the categories of the splits are shown in a single line separated by commas (off) or each split on a separate line with full category and amount in the deposit or payment column (on).

Reading the comments, I figure out setting off is working as expected by setting on seems not to be functioning as wanted. Is it another Qt6 related issue (I took the screenshots on Qt5) or something else?

thank for this explanation. 
How could it be added to the user manual here https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kmymoney/kmymoney/details.settings.register.html?

Fun fact, on my computer, the option "show all split details" works as per your description above :), see attachment.
i am not sure how to check the Qt5 topic. Is it dependent on my computer? 
I use kmymoney 5.2.0-2cbd7a8, there the "about" section mentions "Qt Version 5.15.13 (Compilé avec 5.15.12)"
my operation system is Debian 12 bookworm.

split details on crushedtortilla machine (archlinux)

Oh, that is very weird. I don't see anything like that, but I have attached a screenshot of what I see. And yes, I have annotated it correctly :)

With your current settnigs, KMyMoney seems to fill the memo in detail column (which you may heft left empty). Please try to turn on the "Use the ledger lens" setting to see if this gets what you are looking for and report back.

Hmm, I don't think it does really.

For the following, I have "Show all ledger entries in full detail" disabled, so these results are for the selected ledger entry.

* "Use the ledger lens" is enabled, "Show all split details in ledger" is enabled: I see a blank first line in the details cell, and then the smaller and italicized split details on separate lines.
* "Use the ledger lens" is disabled, "Show all split details in ledger" is enabled: I only see a blank line in the details cell.
* "Use the ledger lens" is enabled, "Show all split details in ledger" is disabled: I see all the split categories comma-separated in the details cell.
* "Use the ledger lens" is disabled, "Show all split details in ledger" is disabled: I see all the split categories comma-separated in the details cell.

So "Use the ledger lens" doesn't seem to do anything when "Show all split details in ledger" is disabled. I don't know if that is intended.

It doesn't seem like anything is modifying the memo field; when I edit the ledger entry the memo field is blank in all these cases.

Yes, this is intended.

Yes, the memo field is either filled by importing transactions (if available) or manually by the user.

The combination "Use the ledger lens" is disabled, "Show all split details in ledger" should probably act the same way as "Use the ledger lens" is disabled, "Show all split details in ledger", because the memo should not take precedence over the category.
