Help with transfers and Reflection data

I’m having trouble tracking my expenditures. We have saved some funds for a home renovation. the funds are in various accounts. I transferred funds from my brokerage account to my HYSA (no category needed) and then into my HYSA, the category was Home Renovation.

When I pay out of that category, it gets zeroed out, which is good because I had the funds to pay for it, but when I go to Reflect under Income vs. Expense to see how much I have spent on my reno so far, it is not accurate because it counts the transfer as a positive.

I can get the total cost by searching the category and clicking on all the expenses without the transfers, but I would also like to see it in Reflect. What am I doing wrong?

I also want to add that I think I am avoiding putting the funds in Ready to Assign and then assigning it to Home Renovation, because it will show up as Income, and that is not accurate as well.

Also, I am Tracking all of these accounts, if that matters.
