Seems this is not longer in the app…

It was in (with an error), then briefly in (without error and working correctly it seemed). Then it was removed again. Bit of a rollercoaster!

A flag will have been enabled when it shouldn’t have been - then subsequently disabled (or deleted).

I’ll have a dig into the current flag settings to see if there’s anything obvious.

I thought it might be a feature-flagging thing. That would be great if so as it’s then obviously being worked on…

Bingo! - Found it :mag: :

    <boolean name="shared_custom_categories" value="false" />

Waiting for that to switch to “true” and Bob’s your Uncle :eyes:

Finally, I can’t believe it might actually happen!

Having finally gotten a joint account, some actual features for it might compel me to retry plus. But for now, I’ll standby and see what’s to come.

Hi all - @rossmonzo has shared an update about Plus/Premium features for joint accounts over on this thread :eyes:

I would love the ability to move part or all of a personal account overdraft to the joint account by either party to the joint account

So, will we get custom categories on joint accounts. Why does this even need to be a plus/premium feature anyway. Or, at the VERY LEAST add more categories.

No.

But that’s my point, why the … does it even need to be a premium feature. Or, why can’t they just add MORE categories to joint accounts, not even custom ones rather than do absolutely f all when everyone is clearly keen for this

That flag :point_up: is still there in the latest code. Whether or not it ever gets changed to ‘true’ is anyone’s guess. Given that it briefly appeared in November for some people (who had JA’s and could see custom categories in the JA), then disappeared just as quickly smells of a mistake activating it. Maybe it caused loads of problems which would take too long to fix?

Anyway - no-one here knows if it’ll ever appear again or not but I’ll watch it like a hawk, obvs
