Tags Replacement for Bank Transactions

I use tags to categorize bank and credit card transactions into different budget buckets. With tags going away I have tried to add a custom field, but have had no luck. Is there a way to add custom fields to bank transactions for all my company expenses? If not, is there another mechanism to achieve the same outcome as tags do currently in banking transactions?

I appreciate your quick wit in utilizing a custom field in place of tags, KAC 7. Let's discuss this further in detail and explore how this can further benefit you. 

Starting May 16, 2025, the ability to create tags for reporting will be discontinued. As an alternative, you can use the custom field feature. There will be an option to migrate tags to custom fields, saving you the effort of manually converting each tag. 

Here's how:
 

  1. Go to Settings ⛭, and click Tags.
  2. On the tags page, select Migrate tags to custom fields.
  3. Up to 100 tags will be automatically imported and all transaction forms will be selected by default. Be sure to check the selections and make any adjustments as needed.
  4. To add any additional tags, you can manually enter them into a custom field.
  5. Select Save.

On the other hand, custom fields are unavailable for bank transactions, however, you can add them to your sales and expense transactions.
