Repeating Allocations

[polarmutex]

Would be easier if money could be allocated to an envelope once and then have fava-envelope assume that the allocations are the same each month, until the allocations are updated.

[Ramblurr]

What about the case where you are allocating money for a one off expense?

I might want to set aside 500$ for an urgent repair I know needs doing this month.

I would also like to see this, perhaps adding similar to fava's budgeting syntax via help > budgets
"""
Budgets on a per-account basis can be added via custom directives in the Beancount file:

2012-01-01 custom "budget" Expenses:Coffee "daily" 4.00 EUR
2013-01-01 custom "budget" Expenses:Books "weekly" 20.00 EUR
2014-02-10 custom "budget" Expenses:Groceries "monthly" 40.00 EUR
2015-05-01 custom "budget" Expenses:Electricity "quarterly" 85.00 EUR
2016-06-01 custom "budget" Expenses:Holiday "yearly" 2500.00 EUR
If budgets are specified, Fava's reports and charts will display remaining budgets and related information.

The budget directives can be specified daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. The specified budget is valid until another budget directive for the account is specified. The budget is broken down to a daily budget, and summed up for a range of dates as needed.
