I would like to be able to have a single line for one item that needs to be budgeted, regardless if it is re-occurring on a monthly basis or just a one-time expense in, let's say May or ...any other given month.

I would like to be able to move that entry to another month or category and then also perhaps change the value.

So then I could have multiple items in a category... all of which make up the total for a month which gets calculated by GnuCash.

Example:

For the category "eating out & order in", I could budget ... maybe $80 each month. And for "clothing" it could be something like $150.

If I intend use a sale for clothing or if I want to plan for a big dinner in a fancy restaurant, I would like be able to enter that extra information in that category and be able to see it. Right now, I have to decrease or increase the values in a single month and then, well, somehow remember what the original values stood for.

The new feature would enable me to keep track of the items later on, maybe in case I want to fine-tune the numbers or move them to another month or add something in a category for a certain month... but I want to make sure it is not already covered.
