    Hmm…interesting! I’ll pass on this feedback – I haven’t heard much about people adding transactions on Splitwise that aren’t actually IOUs or payments.

    For now, your best bet is probably to edit your rent expense, so that each flatmate’s share reflects the actual amount they’ve been paying (including the gift). So if everyone pays $500/mo normally, and flatmate #1 is paying an extra $100 on flatmate #2’s behalf, you could edit the bill to say that flatmate #1’s share is $600 and flatmate #2’s share is $400. Then, when each person pays their adjusted share, there should be no remaining debt between the two of them. Hope that helps for the time being!

    Sometimes we pay for something in behalf of others, as a gift.
    For example, in my graduation party, I wanna pay 50 percent of the whole bill as a gift to my friends. But I do not need to get back that money.
    I think there should be an option to do this.
    Currently, I first add a fake payment from all other people to me with the amount of each person's gift, and then I pay for the whole dinner, so they will owe me just the difference of my gift and they share of the bill.
    Thanks
