描述

What happened?

I was trying to setup a rule with and condition (in my case payee and category) to append a text to notes.

Expected behavior would be that when payee and category match the condition, the text is appended to the notes, e.g.:

  • Text before rule applied: Coffee and cake
  • Text after rule applied: Coffee and cake Appended Text

Actual behavior:

  • The text from the rule is not appended to the notes text.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  • Create rule, e.g.: Category is: Restaurants, and Payee is Coffee House Then Append to notes: Appended Text
  • Enter new transaction in Order: Payee, Notes, Category, Payment

Text from the rule is not added to notes

研究方向
Investigate the rule application logic when a note already exists. Start by examining the rule engine code in `src/` for where notes are appended, checking for condition handling that might skip the append. Test with existing notes to replicate the bug and ensure the fix correctly appends text. Review the issue comments for any maintainer guidance or additional context.
