Request Feature: Payee & Category as dropdown

[wolfsolver]

It's very usefull if Payee & Category can be defined as dropdown (or even can be define in setting) instead of "twitter-typeahead".

Hi all, from MMEX version v1.6.2 recursive category was added as new feature. This require to review category/sub-category field in webapp.
DB is changed as #1477 and in general report https://github.com/moneymanagerex/general-reports/tree/master/packages/Category/OneCategoryList

is possible to have new category selection, probabily the best solution is to have a single field with dropdown
filled with result of

WITH RECURSIVE categories(categid, categname, parentid) AS 
(SELECT a.categid, a.categname, a.parentid FROM category_v1 a WHERE parentid = '-1' 
UNION ALL 
SELECT c.categid, r.categname || ':' || c.categname, c.parentid 
FROM categories r, category_v1 c 
WHERE r.categid = c.parentid) 
 SELECT categid, categname FROM categories ORDER by categname;

In the current version 1.8, to activate the filter, it is necessary to type the full path, such as 'Carro:Combustivel:GLV'. Ideally, typing 'GLV' should directly find the subitem 'Carro:Combustivel:GLV
