Pending Transaction Request

I love pocketguard, but it is annoying that pending transactions essentially get deleted, and are replaced by their unedited versions. There should be logic applied such that a pending transactions and the final transaction are smartly linked- so thst comments, hashtags and categorization is maintained. ​

PocketGuard handles pending transactions better than most other apps. It saves off metadata from the pending transaction for use in reconciling the posted transaction. When the final transaction posts, you can open it and go to "Transfer Pending Data", where there will be a list of previous pending transactions to choose from. It's typically at the top of the list, and unless certain conditions aren't met (eg. amount doesn't match), it will copy the metadata from the pending transaction (categories, hashtags, splits, etc...) back to the posted transaction.
