Should be able to delete/modify the existing sub-types |
|---|
Hello
Its a wonderful feature that by just writing a sub-type application automatically creates a new sub-type with that name. However the same flexibility becomes a little pain when user somehow created wrong sub-types (it could be either not required or created with a wrong spelling) In that case the ability to delete or modify the sub-types become very necessary in the application. I hope that you will find this suggestion good and will tyr to implement it.
Thanks & Regards

Yes, agreed. It is a little painful when it comes to editing or fixing mistakes in previously entered sub types.
We are thinking of add this ability to update sub types in the Advanced Expenses view. This will be very similar to the way you can change the type in a bunch of expenses - query for expenses with a particular sub type, key in a new sub type and submit.
What do you think?

I believe that this solve only part of the problem(which is of modifying the sub-type). However as I mentioned in my previous message , other problem in the application is that user is not able to delete the sub-types once it is created.In that case when I click on the Sub-type button, it displays list of all sub-types including the one which I don;t want to further use. Could you please suggest some way in the application where the user can delete the created sub-types.
Thanks & Best Regards

Yes, the list of subtypes shows the list of all subtypes used in the past. But when you modify a subtype, the original subtype wont be listed, in its place, the modified one will be listed.
|
So still the user would not be able to delete the existing sub-types which are no longer use or the one which were created wrongly before this new functionality of modifying the bub-types ?
|
Yes, that is correct, but we should be able to get this update in soon.

Released this functionality to bulk update expense subtypes. This is available in the Expenses - Custom View. You can search for expenses, select multiple expenses and click one of the arrows on top that says 'Change expense subtype' and then just continue to enter a new subtype and complete the action.
This is not exactly what you want, but it does result in your unwanted subtypes getting replaced by the new one and not showing up in the list.
