Transaction date always reverts to current date

Unknown

When entering more than one transaction, it would be helpful if the date did not revert to current date every time. When I am entering transactions from a statement all with a date before the current date, the date should remain as the last date entered to speed up the process

Always bugged me why they designed it this way.  Hopefully they will change this soon.

Yes, that is how it works in QM2007 too...much more convenient to keep the last entered date.

That is true only if it is a "buy" transaction.  If you do a dividend or Payment/Deposit transaction it always reverts to today's date.

Yes, that's my experience. It uses the last used date only in Buy transactions. I'm using quicken 5.5.3.Actually, if you enter any other transaction, it reverts to the last Buy transaction date afterwards.

Same her. Date column is 2nd column.

So just to be clear, the root cause is the order of the columns that is affecting the date?

No, I didn’t say that. I just confirmed that my date column position matches yours . No idea whether that's the issue or not.
