Description
Description:
Currently, the category field allows free-text input, leading to inconsistent entries like "Food", "food", "new", or random test data. This makes filtering and analysis difficult.
Proposed Solution:
Replace the free-text input with a dropdown list of predefined categories (e.g., Food, Transport, Utilities, etc.)
Optionally implement an autocomplete field with suggestions based on existing user input.
Benefits:
Ensures category consistency.
Improves user experience.
Enables better filtering and reporting.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Locate the expense-entry category field and inspect how its value is stored, filtered, and displayed; then verify that selecting a predefined category prevents inconsistent free-text values and that filtering still works.
