Created attachment 184499 [details] Empty box SUMMARY When the transaction is splitted, the Payer/Payee box in the Split editor is not filled by the previous Payer/Payee STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1.

Click New OBSERVED RESULT Payer/Payee is empty EXPECTED RESULT Payer/Payee auto-filled by previous payer/payee SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 5.2.1-5f85e88
In version 5.1 it was not even possible to change the Payer/Payee in the transaction splits, and if I do not fill in the field (5.2), the entries will be saved with blank payers.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to allow different payers/payees in a split transaction. What's the use case? I think the actual bug is that the Payer/Payee box is available/shown in the split editor.
" I think the actual bug is that the Payer/Payee box is available/shown in the split editor" Yes! I think so! But in the splits the Payees are blanks

I think the actual bug is that the > Payer/Payee box is available/shown in the split editor. Wouldn't the use case, if I am understanding the question correctly, be something like the following: Friends and I go out to eat. The restaurant only accepts one check/ticker per table. I pay the check and my friends agree to pay me back. When enter that transaction I may want to break it up. The category would still be dining but I would split it by payee so I can track how much each person owes. I could also do that with accounts for each person but that may lead to multiple accounts I may not use often. Another use case. When I pay my mortgage, a portion goes to the bank for interest, a portion to the principal of the loan(usually still the bank) and a portion goes to "escrow" which is insurance and taxes. If I want to track the insurance and taxes payees I would probably need this functionality. I can try to think of more.
This remains a problem and should be addressed. When the Payee has been entered in the New Transaction window, it should populate the Splits automatically. User still has the option to change it or clear it in the Split.
