Erase Memo/Notes field for all transactions in an account (Q Mac)

Rick2022

I recently transferred investment transactions from one account to a new account. Quicken incorrectly populated the memo/notes field with "Transfer shares from IRA - lot X of 199 where X is a number but based on the date of the transaction the X is the wrong #. Since it's wrong, I'd rather remove the text in all transactions. Is there a way to do this without doing it manually for each transaction?

I know I can hide the field but I don't want to do that because new downloaded transactions will have valid comments.

You can.

1. Make a Backup for this data file
2. Go into the selected account
3. Command+A to select all transactions (or select all the transactions for which you want to blank the memo field)
4. Hit command+e to go into edit mode
5. Click the checkbox next to the Memo field, and leave the field blank
6. Click OK and the blank field will be saved across all selected transactions
