    Hi

    Loving the new money manager, a step in the right direction!

    One, what seems major omission (from my perspective), is you cannot partially match transaction descriptions to categories... So transactions that include a transaction Id eg "Just Eat 43216" when you categorize this as "Takeaways" and tell it to apply to all other items, it tries to match exactly "Just Eat 43216" when the other transactions will all have different Ids...

    Is there anyway to set up categories to look for partial matching? eg: match description LIKE "Just Eat" and place in "Takeaway" category?

    Thanks
    Tom
