Why is Quicken changing my transaction dates to posting dates?

Question

For some reason, when I accept a credit card download transaction that matches a register transaction, Quicken changes the register date to the posting date.  This is happening in all credit card accounts.  It also does not matter if I select Accept All or accept each match separately.  I've looked for this issue, but all references are old and closed.  I reported this some days ago through "Report a problem," but I have not seen any activity.  Is anyone else seeing this?

That one is new to me too, must have been in a very recent update. I do notice though that mine is already deselected.  Maybe I did see it before and deselected and forgot about it, but I doubt it, it isn't something that I would have worried about one way or another (I almost never pre-enter any transactions so I'm always getting the posting dates).

@UKR Thank you for your prompt answer.  I had not seen this preference before.

To keep your original transaction date go into Edit / Preferences / Downloaded Transactions and remove the checkmark at the setting highlighted below:

While in Preferences, hover over the blue (i) button for more information
