give access to split settings with 0 amount

[Silther]

Would be nice if you could allow access to the split settings even if the amount is set to 0.
that would allow us to enter the exact costs via the adjustment menu.

Could you elaborate on the use case of this?

[Silther]

It would only be a small convenience feature.
If you have one big expense that combines multiple small ones (or different amounts for each person) you most likely get a receipt with the full amount, but not always.
If you didn't get a receipt you would have to add up all the amounts of the individual people, create a a new expense with the sum and then enter the individual amounts again. If you could enter zero as the sum you could just enter the individual amounts without the need to add them up beforehand.

What? I still don't get it. I checked if just allowing 0 amounts would introduce bugs and sadly it does, however, I don't understand your scenatio. Can you give a specific example?

[Silther]

It's a probable a niche feature, I would wish for a way to use basic math to calculate the sum, not only to split the sum.

Example:
Lets just say for whatever reason you pay for the food of each of you friends, but there is no single bill.
You only know the individual amounts, but as you went together on a trip you don't open expenses with each of the people, but want just a single expense in your group which combines all the induvial expenses.

Currently you would.

1. Add up all individual amounts in you brain or calculator. (e.g. 6,29€ + 4,50€ + 10,99€ + 8,00€ = 29,78€)
2. enter the sum (e.g. 29,78€) into splitpro
3. split the sum again into the individual amounts per person with the exact mode
   (e.g. Person A: 6,29€, Person B: 4,50€, Person C: 10,99€, Person D: 8,00€)

As step 1 and 3 both need you to enter the individual amounts it would be nice if you could combine them or proceed to step 3 without entering the sum before.
