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. Enter a new transaction 2. Fill the Amount end the Payer/Payee boxes 3. Click to split the transaction 4. 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.
