bigmacakSo………. What if i want to duplicate an entry (not recurring entry but, just simply copy it). I've tried to right click it but the choice is not on the popup menu. Is there no simple way to duplicate an entry without having to retype everything in?
Eric PoulinYou're right. At the moment there is no quick way to duplicate an existing entry. I like this idea and it should be fairly straightforward to add to that context menu. I'm adding it to our to-do list for after the mobile app is completed.

Non-recurring entries in CalendarBudget are one-time transactions that do not repeat at set intervals. Users often find themselves needing to copy these entries for various reasons, such as managing similar expenses or duplicating a transaction for a different category.
For instance, if a user has a one-time expense for a special event, they might want to replicate that entry for future planning purposes. Understanding how to effectively manage these entries can enhance budgeting efficiency and ensure accurate financial tracking.
As of now, CalendarBudget does not support the duplication of non-recurring entries directly within the platform. This limitation can be frustrating for users who seek a quick way to replicate their financial entries without retyping all the details.
This feature has been noted by users in various forums, and while the development team acknowledges it, they are prioritizing other updates, such as the mobile app. Users are encouraged to provide feedback on this feature to help guide future enhancements.
Looking ahead, CalendarBudget plans to improve its functionality by considering user feedback regarding the duplication of entries. This enhancement aims to streamline the budgeting process and make it more user-friendly.
By implementing features that allow for easier duplication of both recurring and non-recurring entries, CalendarBudget could significantly improve user satisfaction and efficiency in managing finances. Users are invited to stay tuned for updates on these developments.
To work around the current limitations of duplicating entries in CalendarBudget, users can employ a few tips. One effective method is to maintain a separate document where they can copy and paste entry details, making it easier to re-enter them as needed.
Additionally, users can categorize their entries effectively, which can help in tracking similar transactions without duplication. Utilizing tags or notes within the software can also aid in organizing entries for better visibility and management.
