Tags are not useless, but they can be improved.
For instance, I have a small vacation rental business, and I use tags to separate out and analyze the profitability of each property, while still being able to view the P&L data for the whole business.
The problem I have is with these bugs:
- You cannot tag a split transaction from the Banking section. If you set a tag it will be lost after accepting the split. You have to then RE-EDIT the transaction to add back the tag.
- When viewing the P&L grouped by Tag Group, you do not get a column that shows you untagged amounts, nor do you get a column with totals. This makes it very difficult to track down transactions you might have missed tagging.
These two fixes / improvements would make this feature near perfect for my needs.
