We need a way to SKIP and EDIT a single transaction in a scheduled series of Bill Reminders
I recently switched from Quicken for Mac 2007 to Quicken 2016 for Mac. For the most part, I'm impressed. I have one request for something that is seriously annoying, however. I really watch my cash flow, as most of my income comes in the form of bonuses at year's end. I schedule quite a number of future transactions that I typically make in order to see the effect on cash flow until the year's end. For example, I schedule a certain amount monthly to withdraw as cash. Occasionally, I still have enough in my purse, and just don't need to withdraw the next month's scheduled amount at all, or perhaps only 1⁄2 of it. In Quicken 2007, there was a way to SKIP a single instance of a scheduled transaction, or EDIT a single transaction, without affecting the entire series. This is something that is really needed for those of us who really have to watch their cash flow.

With an instance of a scheduled transaction displayed in the register, double-click to enter edit mode. You get a drop-down menu with 3 options; Mark as paid, Skip this instance, or Edit this and all future transactions.

I just got Quicken 2017 for Mac (I am moving over to MAC
from PC) Currently have 2015 for PC. I manage my cash flow a year in advance on Quicken 2015 because I am able to insert significant one time payments due (like a final payment for a cruise). I also check "this instance only" and edit the amount for my numerous credit card payments which I pay in full each month. Until I can figure out a workaround for this on the 2017 Quicken for Mac, or the feature is put back in by Quicken, I have to keep using my PC just for Quicken. And I definitely will not upgrade from 2015.
I voted for your suggestion, now we are up to 8 votes and it shows "implemented " I hope that means it will be fixed at some point.

Since this IDEA has been marked as Implemented, rather than argue the finer points of this IDEA, I have created a new IDEA post that focuses only on the part that is still not implemented.
