Bug or feature? Please restore how bill reminders with "auto enter" work!

In the above discussion, the original poster has totally misunderstood what is happening.



Contrary to his claim, he is not experiencing a bug and he is NOT dealing with reminders that have been auto-entered.



In fact, he is not dealing with "entered" transactions at all. He is dealing with reminders that are still reminders and are simply being displayed in the account register: they are NOT entered transactions.



When you right-click a register transaction and see:



- Skip this one



- Edit this instance and all future instances



- Delete this instance and all future instances You have right-clicked on a REMINDER, not an "entered" register transaction. And because that transaction is still a Reminder, you can only act on that reminder, just as you can with any other reminder.



There is no bug, there has been no change to the way that Quicken works with auto-entered reminders.



And once again, Quicken is totally ignorant and unhelpful: if they can't do any better than they did in the above discussion, they should refrain from posting.



Telling the op to do a Validate to deal with the reported problem (as Quicken did) cannot do anything to help because the reported issue also has nothing to do with corrupted data: the op's alleged problem is Quicken acting just as it should when the user is dealing with a Reminder that is "shown" in the register - that is: a Reminder that is still a Reminder.



[To keep Quicken from displaying (from "show"ing) Reminders in their registers: with the register open, click the Account Actions gear-wheel icon in the upper right corner, place the cursor on "Reminders to show in register", and select "Don't show reminders".]
