Thanks, While there is a way to not enter the amount, it is not an automated process, and, in a sense, it is not different from putting a random value and changing it later. Also, if a transaction can't be created automatically, it means it will be even more manual steps to get it done.
What I was looking for is a scheduler checking the account balance and setting the value automatically. Maybe one day.
