Auto-created payee rule should use the current payee name
Din from Lunch Money
If the option to "auto-create suggested rule when updating payee" is enabled, the created rule uses the Original Name field for synced transactions, instead of the display name.
For example, if the current payee name for the transaction is "Fan-fan", but the metadata name field is "Fan-Fan", the rule will be set up to match payee name with "Fan-Fan".
Instead, it should use the active payee name (eg. "Fan-fan").

Exactly, I noticed that almost all my bank transactions add the purchase date ddmmyy at the start of "original payee name" but having the date breaks auto-created rules that work by detecting a string in Payee name, since it obviously changes every time. So I manually edit the Payee name to remove the date, but it still didn't use the new name.
Also, the option doesn't do what it says either: renaming the Payee
after
categorizing to create the auto-rule doesn't update the payee name either.EDIT: also, if I recategorize the item, it will recreate a new rule with the original payee name (on top of the one I manually modified to remove the date!), but I assume when the bug is fixed, all derived bugs will be fixed at once
