Managing recurring expenses
Our monthly electricity bill went up by a couple of euros, so I needed to change the recurring expense that I had setup for this. Although this is possible the process is a bit confusing. I'd suggest providing an overview of scheduled recurring expenses, separate from the list of expenses that have already been created as a result from these schedules, which is what I was looking for because I didn't really want to touch any previous expenses.
We agree that managing recurring bills could be better. Currently, the way to edit recurring bills is to change the most recent copy and that will change ones that follow. It will not affect the past expenses.
We’re considering how to improve this, and will leave this under review for now.

Agreed that the recurring expense process could use an update. I'd love to be able to assign an end date to recurring expenses.
Example - if you have a one-year lease, you could set a monthly recurring rent expense for 12 months.
When the lease is up, if you renew for another year/the rent stays the same, you can just move the end date forward another 12 months. If the rent increases (or you move somewhere else), you can set up a new recurring expense with the new amount.

Also; when I disable a recurring expense (we just payed the 8th and last bill of some water-tax thing) I have to disable the "recurring" part of the 8th bill and it no longer shows up in the "Recurring expenses" overview.
