Details to reproduce: tag a flex transaction with a tag (text at the bottom of the note screen for flex transaction encourages their tagging to create new searchable categories for yourself), tag a transaction from main account with same tag. Search for that tag or click the tag from the main account transaction, only the main account transaction is searchable and shows up for that tag.
I’ve two flex transactions for that tag, one fully paid back and one recent with no repayments; so it’s not like these will start appearing as they’re paid back.
Completely agree. This just doesn’t work. You can’t specifically search flex transactions anywhere and the main search doesn’t include any #'s you add to flex transactions.
Searching for transactions incidentally also doesn’t work on Flex, only the Flex payments made back to the card which have any transactions having payments made back in the notes.
Exactly. The bottom of the screen for adding a note in a flex transaction/purchase literally says to use the # to create a searchable category. This doesn’t work and any generic search shows no individual flex purchases
Yep it just means the add a note section is currently pointless. Search results just don’t pull through Flex transactions you’ve added notes to. Flex doesn’t have its own search section.
When you search for any notes you’ve added it only searches the notes you’ve added to Monzo Current Account transactions.
Yeah that’s what we are saying, surely that’s a bug. Why would some purchases or transactions not be searchable? And what would then be the point of the #tags we’re advised to use to make these searchable?
I, too, have just registered a forum account for this issue.
One of my primary reasons for liking Monzo is easily taggable, searchable transactions - making finding what I paid for, when an absolute doddle. Unless I used my Flex card, in which case I am just totally screwed. I can’t even search the merchant name.
I’ve also noticed that Flex transactions do not have the capability to ‘add receipt’, as though I am somehow less likely to want to add one if I paid by credit rather than debit.
Flex transactions look like they’ve been implemented in a kind of poor way, second-class to their main account siblings.
I am requesting feature parity for all different types of transactions (where applicable - one can’t ‘pay off’ a debit, etc).
