Hey!

It is currently possible to assign zero, one or several labels to operations, and to search using either an inclusive or an exclusive filter on labels. It is therefore only possible to search for operations that all contain one or more of the searched-for labels, or operations that contain none of the searched-for labels.

It would be great to also be able to search for inclusive/exclusive combinations, e.g. all operations that contain a label AND that do not contain another.

My usecase is as follows: I mark the advances I’ve payed in HomeBank with an “advance” label, and when I receive a corresponding reimbursement, I add the “reimbursed” label to the advance transaction. I’d therefore like to be able to easily retrieve advances that don’t have a corresponding reimbursement in HomeBank, which means searching for all operations that have the “advance” label, but that don’t have the “reimbursed” label.

Moreover, I imagine that this feature would make it possible to manage many similar situations, and in fact to enable very basic accounting lettering. It would be awesome 😁!
