I would add that the option should be to be able to schedule based on a user defined # of days, e.g. every 15 days, 21 days, 30 days, etc. This would make this feature more flexible and accommodate many other scenarios that are not easy to handle right now.

I want to be able to setup scheduled transactions according to any variety of frequencies that isn't just the common set of currently-defined Quicken schedule durations.
Here is an example of what I mean:
Every 10 days, schedule a projected car fuel transaction of a specified amount.
I have Quicken Mac 2007. I had many more date options to do scheduling. I miss being able to say schedule item for the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Also having more month options like every 2 months or 5 months. Why weren't they carried over to Quicken Mac 2020?

Those are quite doable now. Simply select the Monthly option when creating/editing a reminder. There you can select # months and/or xth [weekday].
(you may have to click the little triangle to reveal those options)
I would like to see the ability to schedule income transactions monthly on a specific business day as in 'the third last business day.' As a Canadian in receipt of a Canada Pension and Old Age Security, I always get these deposits on a specific business day and it is really annoying having to create each months individually.
You might want to review that and add your vote both here and in this discussion.
Meanwhile, how about scheduling your and your spouse's retirement income reminders monthly for the 25th and then change the date of the recorded transactions. It's not exact, but it's "close enough for enough for government work", as one of my former bosses used to say.
I have done that in the past. This results in having to create two monthly recurring transactions and then having to modify twenty-two transactions instead of creating twenty-four. Same time needed.
