Thanks, what ended up working was:
= expr 'tag("BudgetType") =~ /^Debt$/'
But one more question: is it possible to use the tag value in a posting of an
automated transaction, like for calculating how much goes into a particular
account?
I want to have a tax transaction to send a percentage into a liabilities
account, but want to have that percentage customizable. Right now my
transaction looks like this:
= tag Taxable
Expenses:Tax:2018:Estimated 0.2
Liabilities:Tax:2018:Estimated -0.2
I'd like to be able to change that 0.2 by a tag like TaxRate. Is this possible?
