[Bug]: Goals: Templates applying full amount when full amount is already budgeted #1771
Comments
Is it specifically the schedule template that is doing this or are other templates also not working as expected? |
Seems like it's just schedules. I just tried with |
I'm also having the same issue with the "up to" template. I.e. #template up to 50 budgets $50 this month and $50 next month for a total of $100. It should be capping it at $50, correct? |
@happybikes Im not able to replicate your issue at all. Do you have an example budget or steps to make this happen? |
Something like this. It should be capping it at $160 for the subsequent month, no? Even after clicking apply budget template, it doesn't. |
You are correct that when applying the template to the second month that it should cap the balance at 160 at the time of application. Are you applying the template to both months or just the one? Ive tried to recreate this a few different ways and have been unsuccessful. Are you still seeing the issue if you use demo.actualbudget.org? |
I tried it on the demo like you suggested, and the demo works correctly. After messing with it some more, I believe there may be an issue with the “apply budget template” at the top of the month. It doesn’t actually apply the template correctly, whereas the individual “apply budget template” buttons of each item work when I go through and click them one by one. |
I have been using an “up to” template successfully on my real life budget for a couple of months, including applying all templates at the same time. Perhaps my scenario is slightly different in that my template is along the lines of: “#template 10 up to 50”. In this instance if I have 45 available only 5 is added. Or if I have 50 available 0 is added. This always works for me as it should. PS I have now amended my template in my real life budget to just read “#template up to 50”. I then applied all my budget templates for several months into the future. The available in this particular category never went above 50. So like @youngcw I am really sorry but I cannot reproduce what you are seeing. |
Thanks for doing some troubleshooting and narrowing down the issue to something on my end. I’ve got it installed in a docker container, so I may try to spin up another one and see if I can resolve it that way. If not, it’s not the end of the world to have to apply the template manually to each individual item. |
@JazzaG are you still seeing this issue in the current build? I think I'll close this off for now unless I hear back soon. |
Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
Applying budget templates will apply the full amount of the template if the category has greater than or equal to the full amount of the template.
For example, a schedule for an annual charge is $1400. The budget category for this charge has $1500 in the balance. Applying the template for this category adds $1400 to the budget, bringing the balance to $2900. The expected behaviour is that applying the template applies $0 to the budget category as the category already has the required amount.
