Dear all,
I am just trying to find the best solution for grouping postings in
addition to them being grouped by accounts.
Just want to check my understanding
The obvious choices are are links, tags and meta
>From your experience are there any specific reasons one would use one over
another:
2020-01-01 open Assets:Cash
2020-01-01 open Expenses:Food
2020-01-01 * "Buying something with tag " #some-label #some-label2
Assets:Cash -100.00 USD
Expenses:Food
2020-01-01 * "Buying something with link" ^some-label ^some-label2
Assets:Cash -100.00 USD
Expenses:Food
2020-01-01 * "Buying something with meta"
label: "some-label"
Assets:Cash -100.00 USD
Expenses:Food
My comparison table is | tags | links | meta
-----------------------------------------------------
can be filtered by in beanquery | Yes | Yes | No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can be several ones in one transaction | Yes | Yes | No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
can be grouped by in beanquery | No | No | Yes
So, so far my conclusions are:
tags and links are pretty much the same (??? did I miss some difference ??)
If you need filtering by - use tags or links
if you need grouping by and filtering - use meta
Any comments?
