[Due for payment 2026-01-16] [$250] Change copy of system message that generates when a previously uncategorized expense is categorized

[jamesdeanexpensify]

Background

Coming from this convo, I'd like to make a system message more concise.

Details

Here's an example of the system message copy I want to change (in the case where a previously uncategorized expense is categorized):

Current copy: changed the category based on past activity to "6403 Travel - Member Services" (previously uncategorized)

Proposed copy (update to this): set the category based on past activity to "6403 Travel - Member Services"
