Add Option to Stop Automatically Clearing the Blue Dot after 2 weeks in Quicken (25 Legacy Votes)

SuperUser ✭✭✭✭✭
Currently Quicken automatically marks transactions as reviewed by clearing the flag (Blue Dot) after 2 weeks, whether or not a user has actually reviewed the transaction.
There needs to be a user preference to turn off/disable this feature.
There are many situations where the automatic behaviour is not suitable. Users may perform reviews less frequently, such as once per month, or may fall behind in the review process yet still download their data for later review (since many FIs/Banks only provide data for previous 3 months). The current behaviour makes the review process more difficult.

The blue check mark to the right of the transaction indicating the transaction has been cleared also appears if the transaction has been downloaded, but this is eaily removed with a mouse click. It is the first thing I do when I start to reconcile and any transaction not included in the reconcile remains without the check mark until I include it in the next reconcile.
In short, the behavior you describe is not what I see in QM17. (Using Direct Connect without mobile access.)
