Extension that adds a journal entry?

[martinber]

I would like a better journal entry method for fava, is it possible to write an extension for that?

I would like to create some templates of common transactions, with some fields previously filled, for example

• Bought food in supermarket with credit card
• Payment from work received
• Currency exchange
• Moved money from savings to checking account

I couldn't find any wat for extensions to create transactions, is that right? Otherwise I could create an extension that provides a custom form for each case, fills some template and adds the data to the journal

This isn't exactly what you're looking for but I found that by creating a rules document that contains mapping instructions "Any transaction from x credit this account and debit this account. List the payee as <business/person> and add this tag " for example and then upload into ChatGPT and then mass upload all transactions from my credit card for the month, and ChatGPT perfectly for creating the beancount entries.

For anything unknown I created an expense called TBD and instructed it to labely mystery transactions with that.

It works really well.
