[Bug]: Transfer category between Off Budget and Budget

What happened?

When transferring money between Budget accounts the category is automatically set to Transfer.
Transferring money from an Non-Budget account (i.e. Savings, Daily Savings) to a Budget account (i.e. Checking) does not set any category and warns that there are "x uncategorized transactions".

I could not find any mention of this in the help. Furthermore adding a category for this seem counterproductive since it would show up in the budget report.

Hey there, this is expected behaviour. Money which is moving in or out of your budget pool needs to be attributed to a category (this is the same principal as regular transactions in / out of your budget).

But perhaps this is signal that it's something which needs to be more clear in the documentation.

Yes. It would be good if the documentation mentioned this preferably here:
https://actualbudget.org/docs/transactions/transfers

Although today I found a mention here at the bottom:
