Automatically assign a TAG to loan principle and interest?

I think I would set up a memorized transaction with splits, transfers and tags (I hope that's possible). Then have the transaction automatically entered (I do it 30 or more days in advance so I can see how the wind blows). You likely have to edit the amounts each time when you know them.

But then, I haven't tried ...

Not sure why you want to do this.

I don't believe there is any way to use a Loan Wizard generated transaction to assign a tag to the principal payment*.

But you can assign a tag to the Loan Wizard transaction interest category.

To address an existing loan:

Net Worth > (Choose Loan) > Edit Payment

In the "Category for Interest" field, key a forward slash at the end of the mortgage interest category, followed by the tag name.

Good idea. Unfortunately, I want to use the loan wizard to take advantage of all the principle and interest calculation widgets.

Thanks. That only leaves the principle part. I can edit that.

I am doing this because my partner and I use a common checking account to pay our household bills. We are co borrowers but have agreed that we each are responsible for a different amount of the debt due to contributing different amounts to the down payment. (yes, I know legally we each are responsible for all of it). We also tend to deposit different amounts as our pay periods are different and she likes a bigger cushion than I do. I am currently using a pretty spiffy speadsheet to track all this and would love to determine who has how much of the joint account through Quicken. Tags seem the logical course and I have to tag every transaction to do this.
