Downloaded Transactions used to match automatically; now they don't

Member ✭✭
I have many manual bills that used to be automatically matched to downloaded transactions so that I could easily reconcile my expenses. As long as I edited the scheduled bill so that the date and amount matched the downloaded transaction, then after I entered the scheduled bill the transaction would automatically match to the scheduled bill.

Now, after I upgraded to the latest version of Quicken, none of my downloaded transactions match automatically, and I have to do a manual match.

Is there an option I am missing to allow automatic matching? It is very inconvenient and tedious to manually match every downloaded transaction.

    I believe that's a bug recently added to Quicken with the R 42.8 update.
    Until they can fix it, the workaround is to switch to a different register or view, then switch back. The entry in the Downloaded Transactions tab should then show the expected (updated) Match.
    Personally, I have always recorded scheduled reminders with the correct amount and date BEFORE I have downloaded transactions from the bank. That would trigger a Match as expected.

    I confirm the same bug introduced in R 42.8. Automatic matching is BROKEN! Especially when a I enter a transaction manually after the download. It used to match automatically perfectly.

    You don't even need to click on another account to view, just click the same one you are working on. I always do this even now so the "Downloaded Transactions (xx)" would update and clear the "Accepted" in the status column.

    Thanks for the advice. I just don't have enough downloaded transactions to test all possible iterations. If somebody else asks, I'll be sure to pass on your tip.

    Thanks for posting, having this same issue. I don't see it on the list of known issues. Does anyone know how to get it posted there so Quicken is aware of the issue? Also fwiw, I tried what @nevetsgne said and that didn't work for me but what @UKR said did.

    I am having the same issue since the latest download.
