Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. ​Open YNAB
2. ​Go to "Budget" screen
3. ​see that this option does not exist under "Quick Budget"

Expected Behavior

I expect to be able to enter the first half of my monthly budget during the first half of the month

Actual Behavior

N/A

I've wanted something similar for some time (personally I'd prefer ~80% as a default) and can imagine more complex settings but this, as described by the OP, would be a useful feature.

This would be helpful. I setup regular monthly amounts as Monthly Goals and I am paid on the 15th and 31st, so quick half budgeting would be superb.

This would be AMAZING. I do the same 50% of the budget for each paycheck. I just counted and learned I make the same exact 32 assignments every 2 weeks. It would be great to do that in 1 click and not 32+.

I would also agree. To perhaps further the idea: The ability to right-click a category and fund that category's goal based on the percentage of the month that has already passed would be great. EX. On April 15th - right click your rent category with a monthly spending goal of $1000 - press "catch up goal" or something - and $500 dollars gets funded to that category's budget if you have $500 available in To Be Budgeted.
