Quicken auto-changing Payee names, making them unusable

ErikME

I jsut want to bump this up - in the old days, you used to be able to change what got overwritten and delete pre-catorization connections.

This is still on ongoing issue - after i have "do not improve downloaded names" checked, Quicken is still changing my names into simplified names that are innacurate and misleading.

How do you prevent Quicken (Mac) from automatically changing Payee names?

First, why does Quicken NOT allow a user to opt-in or opt-out of changing Payee names. Not once, not ever has Quicken's "improvement" ever improved a name. When I make a credit card purchase at Green Thumb Nursery, Quicken changes the name to Green Thumb Nursery School. THEN… it also sets the category as "School".

The name of the Payee when viewed on my credit card statement and on my bank's website is shown exactly as it should be - "Green Thumb Nursery".

How can I get Quicken to stop making an incorrect change? I don't want to create "rules" as I don't want to waste time creating rules to undo what Quicken never should have done in the first place.
