How to turn off auto categories when I mark an expense 'business'? i am spending WAY TOO MUCH TIME finding transactions and recategorizing them.

I know how important it is to have control over your transactions. However, the option to turn this feature off isn't an option for now, @lauren-fidistrat. 

The system's auto-categorization is designed to help streamline the process of organizing your transactions, but I recognize that it may not always align with your specific needs. In the meantime, I recommend reviewing your transactions periodically to ensure they are categorized correctly. Additionally, you can manually adjust the categories for any transactions that have been inaccurately auto-categorized.

However, your feedback is valuable to us, and we encourage you to send your input and suggestions directly to our support team. You can do this by utilizing the Send Feedback feature within QBSE. Your feedback helps us understand the needs of our users and guides our efforts to improve the QBSE experience for all our customers.
