Split Expenses but better
Currently, when we "Split" the expense is divided into multiple expenses, for eg, If i have spend 100$, and I split 50$ from it, It will show as 2 50$ expenses in "Records".
Thats a good feature, but what I would like to request is that there should be option where we can "split" the expense into multiple small parts, without them showing in Records.
For eg, I went to a trip and spend 1000$, how I spend 1000$? 500$ on hotel, 250$ in transportation and 250$ in other fun activities. Note that this is just an example, there would be multiple expenses of 5$,10$ etc over the course of trip.
Now if I just write 1 single Expense of 1000$, It doesnt help me record where and How I spend 1000$, and If I split the record in multiple parts, my history will be filled with multiple small expenses and It would be cluttered.
I would like to suggest that We should be able to record small expenses under the Big expense.
So if I spend 1000$ in "Holiday and Trips" category, I should be able to record all the small expenses of "Transportation", "Hotel", "Medical" etc within that 1000$.
Its more like multiple small bills making up a big bill and we can show that in a single entry, and when we open that entry, we should be able to see all the small expenses which were part of it.
So, 1000$ - Holiday
-> 500$ - Hotel
-> 250$ - Transportation
-> 20$ - Water bottles
-> 100$. - Street Food
-> 50$ - Medical Expenses
-> 80$ - Massage/haircut etc..
Now it would be weird to record all those expenses as it would clutter our record history, but at the same time we should record how and where these 1000$ were spent.
Hope you get what Im trying to say, Thank you.

I would love to have this option. I started checking how much I spend for a specific category on groceries (pastry, meat, dairy, fruit etc). Splitting one bill into several sub-categories makes a lot of clutter, plus when I forget to enter some record it is pain to compare my bank account with my records (I decided to enter stuff manually as it's better for me) and so I have to put the final amount into note so I don't get lost.
This way I could just see main record, which would be further divided into smaller within it and I could see those sub-categories in statistics.

About splitting expenses
However, in the case you describe what you need is a one time budget instead of one expense record.
- create a label Holiday2023
- when you will start holiday set this label to be added automatically to all records.
Create a one-time budget that will include only records with label Holiday2023.
