SUMMARY
Tags assigned for payment in transactions are entered in the increase column in tag management.
And vice versa.

2. go to tag manager and choose the tag : the payment appears in the increase column 


OBSERVED RESULT
 the payment appears in the increase column 

EXPECTED RESULT
 the payment must appears  in the decrease column 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Kmymoney 5.2.1 : flatpak, appimage or in distribution package (LinuxMint, Cachyos, Manjaro…)

Yes, that is by design, because the tag is referencing the category, not the account. On the category, it is an increase.

Comment 2 Jack 2026-01-25 16:29:30 UTC

Is there any way to apply a tag to the main Account split of a transaction instead of the Category split?

Comment 3 Thomas Baumgart 2026-01-25 16:46:16 UTC

Yes, open the existing transaction in the category ledger and assign the tag there.
