Which tag chip the list shows
A transaction can carry more than one tag. The list only has room for one chip, so Budgie picks which one to show.
Tag a transaction more than once and the list still shows one chip — bordered, with a count for the rest.
The first tag you pick is the one the list shows. To change it, open the tag picker and long-press another tag — a star marks the main tag there.
The choice lives on the transaction itself, so editing anything else about it never resets which tag is shown.
- Bordered chip, plus a count
- One tag needs no border
Pick your main tag yourself
Open the tag picker on any transaction and long-press the tag you want shown.

Why scanning a long list for one tag is hard
Scanning a long transaction list for one tag is hard. Budgie shows the main tag of each row as a chip, with a count of the others, so you can scan #vacation or #shared without opening anything.
The first tag you add is the main one automatically. To pick a different one, long-press it in the tag picker; the choice stays when you edit the transaction.
Questions
What does "primary" actually do?
It decides which tag the list shows when a transaction has several. The row shows that tag as a chip with a count of the others, so you can scan a long list for #vacation or #shared without opening any row.
How do I set a primary tag?
You don't have to: the first tag you add is primary automatically. To change it, open the tag picker and long-press the tag you want; a star marks it there.
Is the primary tag preserved across edits?
Yes. Editing a transaction keeps its primary tag unless you pick a different one in the tag picker.
Can a transaction have several primary tags?
No. A tagged transaction has exactly one primary tag, the first one by default.
