I found one way that I think should work:
= "Liabilities:Apple Card" and %cashback
Assets:Apple Cash (-tag("cashback"))
Income:Credit Card Rewards (tag("cashback"))
2023/06/06 McDonalds
; cashback:: 0.02
Expenses:Food:Restaurants $23.98
Liabilities:Apple Card
2023/06/07 Transfer
Liabilities:Apple Card $23.98
Assets:Some bank
Mainly found by searching bugs
<https://github.com/ledger/ledger/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+%22%3D+expr%22>.
The manual would really benefit with some more realistic examples in
the Automated
Transactions
<https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Automated-Transactions> section.
Thanks,
Viraj.
