Is there a way to use existing transactions posted to Quicken to autofill the Bills & Income tab?

Question

I created a new file for my banking and credit cards. The prior one was too cumbersome and out of balance, so I started fresh.  Can I autofill Bills & Income based on my historic spending as shown on my bank and credit cards?  There is about six months of data on the new account.  Or do I have to enter each item one by one?

Thank you for the suggestion.  However, the response was a pop up window that says "Quicken did not find any recurring transactions other than the ones you already have scheduled".  So it didn't accomplish what I wanted.  I know I can enter them into the Bills/Bills & Income tab, but was hoping to avoid all that manual entry.

There is an automation for finding transactions that could be reminders. Go to menu Tools | Manage Bill & Income Reminders. In the Bill and Income Reminders window, click Options | Suggest Reminders | Suggest Reminders Based On My Past Activity.

If you have transactions in your register which are properly named and categorized already, you can create Scheduled Reminders from these transactions.

Right-click one of these register transactions and select "Add reminder" from the popup menu.
