Why is Quicken changing my transaction dates to posting dates?

in Download, Add/Update Accounts (Windows)

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?

    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

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

    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).
