setting up amount column in a checkbook

Quicken used to automatically show the last amount I entered for an account but no longer does so. This is convenient for recurring expenses. How do I set it up (edit it) to do so again?

Also, keep in mind that when you now type a payee, you will have differing options based on previous QuickFill rules. The first option will be a blank transaction, the rest are the QuickFill options. For example:

Or in newer versions you can click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the account register to get a list of available columns. Click to put a checkmark in the missing column(s).

If you are not showing a balance column then you might first need to select an individual account in the side bar.

After you make sure you are up to date with the latest version, you can go into Quicken:Preferences:Register, and make sure the QuickFill option is selected and set to save for All fields. This will cause the last entered transaction (well, a list you can choose from for that Payee when entering the transaction manually) with the amount already there.
