I saw someone ask an interesting question on reddit, they wanted an
automated transaction to create a mirror transaction in Budget
for every transaction in Expenses.
Obviously you can just do:
= /^Expenses:/
Budget:$account -1
That sort-of works, but then you have Budget:Expenses:Foo, when only
Budget:Foo was wanted.
No problem, you can do this instead:
= /^Expenses:/
Budget:%(account_base) -1
That works for Expenses:Foo, but not Expenses:Foo:Bar....
The best solution I can think of is...
= /^Expenses:[^:]+$/
Budget:%(account_base) -1
= /^Expenses:[^:]+:[^:]+$/
Budget:%(account.parent.account_base + ":" + account_base) -1
= /^Expenses:[^:]+:[^:]+$/
Budget:%(account.parent.account_base + ":" + account_base) -1
= /^Expenses:[^:]+:[^:]+:[^:]+$/
Budget:%(account.parent.parent.account_base + ":" +
account.parent.account_base + ":" + account_base) -1
...etc.
Not very elegant, but I think it should work?
Just thought I'd mention it, parent is mentioned in the docs, but only
parent.total :)
