Adding a Custom "Schedule" for transactions (Q Mac)

pactaz

Currently under the "Schedule" Transaction the Bill reminder only allows the user to select: Once, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly with some additional pull downs.

What would be nice is a Custom Schedule Reminder.
Example: My state DMV lets you register a vehicle (trailer) for three years. Its such a long time between events it would be nice to have that come up in the next three years vs a yearly reminder (only allowable function available). Thanks

@pactaz You can easily schedule a transaction for once every three years in Quicken Mac. You can set it for yearly and set it to Every 3 years:

or you can set it to Monthly and set it to every 36 months:

Editing to add: The developers sought to make the scheduling screen seem simple and not overwhelming to users, so in their infinite wisdom, they hid most of the controls with the little triangle next to the Starting date. This trips up many people, but the developers are yet to either make the fields show all the time, or change the little triangle to a "More Options" button which would make things more apparent.

Perfect responses--totally missed the tiny carrot

@pactaz You and thousands of other Quicken Mac users!

Believe me, this question comes up on this forum at least once a week. Sometimes the developers just try to get too clever.they hid some of the options to avoid overwhelming and confusing users, and endied up confusing many users who don't find what they had hidden. If they simply replaced that little carrot/triangle/arrow icon with a button or link that said "More Options…", you'd invariably have clicked on it and figured it out right away.
