Nice, that is even cleaner. One thing however is if I then later add a transaction to pay the card, the automatic transaction still applies.
What would be right way to do apply the automatic transaction only when there is also an Expenses entry? I could not figure out the proper syntax. I tried something like: = expr "any(account =~ /^Liabilities:Apple Card/) and any(account =~ /^Expenses/)" but this does not seem to work. I get some errors if I try removing the quotes, but I'm likely doing it wrong. Thanks, Viraj.
