I have a split part template for "Restaurant"
It contains two parts: "Food" and "Tips".
Both the parts and therefore the sum is preset to amount 0.
When I create a new transaction from the template, I first enter the sum, which is empty and preselected.
After that I fill the parts one by one by tapping them, selecting "edit" and then entering the amount into the empty and preselected field.
What I miss is the pre-filling with the unassigned amount, that is implemented in split transactions that are created without using a template.
If you do it the other way and create the splits without first entering the sum, it is generated as expected.
