SUNNYBROMO  On eporblem noted:

If you change the name of an expense category after already assigning it to several transactions, it will not update the transactions with the new category name. Rather, it designates them all as 'uncategorized'. Pretty frustrating, but lesson learned-- luckily I found this out when I just started. EDIT: This seems to only have effected transactions in which the renamed category was used in a 'split' (to assign different portions of a single transaction to seperate categories). The ones categorized outright seem to have updated okay.

ROTH  After reading your issue, I went through some tests and could not get it to reproduce. The expected behavior is as follows:

1) If you change the name of a category, all transactions (including splits) are updated with the new name.

2) If you delete a subcategory, all transactions will be updated (including splits) with the name of its group category.

3) If you delete a group category, all transactions (including splits) will be updated and the category will be assigned "Not categorized".

All tests pass. Only two options:

1) You deleted the category first, and then created a new one, thinking this the same as editing.

2) You have a special corner case which I do not have a test for. If this is the case, I suggest you contact me at rothearl@gmail.com to pursue this issue further (assuming you are interested).
