Transaction Group: Days in Advance

JohnC998

I see no way to change the number of days in advance of the due date for a transaction group. The 'days in advance' is stuck at three and I'd like it to be zero.

How do I change the 'days in advance' of a transaction group?

As far as I can tell there isn't any way to do this.

Thanks, Chris. I wonder why it's not available...

I don't know.  I used that feature for the first time starting a few weeks ago and ran into the same thing.
I also shortly stopped using it because it is so inflexible.  I was using it for an interest payment, but that varies per money, and you are forced to put in the old amount and then change it.  It was just easier for me to enter the transaction manually.

I don't use Transaction Groups myself. All my individual Scheduled Reminders are set to their required frequency, due date and "Remind me [xx] days in Advance" or "Auto enter [xx] days in advance".
Based on the setting of [xx] days in conjunction with the Due Date, each reminder kicks off when it's needed. No Transaction Group required.

Maybe you could do the same?

The only reason I was using a Transaction Group was because it was the only way I could have a reminder in an investment account.
