Budget category amounts not adding up
I have a couple of questions/issues with budgeting in CCT. When I edit the budgets and go into the "Set Income" screen, it tells me that the amount allocated is $6,059. I have gone through every category and set the amounts to 0. I think what it is telling me is that there is that much money tied up in categorized transactions. That would make some sense however, when I start adding budget numbers to categories, that amount goes up! By the time I finish with putting in my numbers for the various categories, the program thinks I have way more money than I actually do. I really like this program and interface, but this issue is massive for me. Can you shed some light on what is happening?
Thanks,
Matt

Inappropriate?Well, it's not that the amount that I'm seeing is coming from transactions because I completely deleted all accounts and transactions and the budget screen still showed me the same amount in the "allocated" section. Also, I tried to exclude some categories from the budget and when I would touch a category to edit it, an entirely different category would come up the next screen. For instance, I would touch "Shopping" to edit it and exclude it from the budget and on the next screen it would be the "Movies" category that would show up. Some of them worked properly but most did not.
Help Please.

Inappropriate?I think you have the same problem I had as well. Let me guess: you did your budget and allocated money to categories and then you renamed them. When you went back to the budget the value was now zero but somehow the value you had allocated to it is still adding up to the budget and you can't reset it. Seems like the only way to fix this is clear CCT (reinstall), edit all the categories first and then play with the budget, knowing that you can never change those categories back again without zeroing all your budget before. Kinda of annoying really.

Inappropriate?I can't reproduce this issue. Can you guys try and provide me some reproducible steps so that I can fix what you are seeing?

Inappropriate?Start with a fresh install of CCT. Go into the budget and allocate money to a couple of these categories, taking note of the ones you allocated money to. Then exit the app, load it again and go into the categories screen. There, change the names of the categories you allocated money to. Reload the app, go into the budget and all the categories there should show 0 but the total shown on the bottom still corresponds to the total we had before renaming the categories.
Hope I've been clear enough. -
Inappropriate?I think I have found the problem. I will post more info when I know for sure.
