Hello there, thecuratedpalm.
It seems like the issue you're experiencing might be due to the categories you've created being hidden or deleted, or potentially hitting a limit on the number of categories you can add. To resolve this, let’s ensure the categories are marked as visible in your settings so they appear when you create a transaction.
Here's how to check and adjust the category visibility:
- Navigate to the Transactions tab and select the dropdown next to New transaction.
- In the dropdown menu, find and click on the Manage Categories option.
- Choose the appropriate Expense type.
- Locate the category and select the visibility icon to unhide them.
