Cloud Sync Changing Budget Tested Solution
Here is the key that I figured out. I recently added 2025 and everything looked right for 2024 and 2025. I had to create just the budget categories option for adding 2025 then used Dec 2024 budget and 'copied budget from Dec 2024 forward to end of 2025.' I did that for each budgeted category. At that point I saved the Quicken file.
Every single time I would cloud sync it would literally eff up many of my budget category amounts for 2024. Each time I had to restore from backup. I tried all the posted tricks about turning off cloud and forcing replacement of cloud file etc. Same result every time grrrrr…
Solution:
Get your budget looking like you want it (including 2025 or whatever) and then 'duplicate budget' and name it something else… i.e 'budget 2'
Delete the original budget and save the quicken file with timestamp (just in case)
Sync with cloud and since there's no [Removed - Profanity] existing cloud budget to [mess] things up, it works like a charm. I suggest doing this anytime you add another year.
Cheers!
