Wrong Default Budget Year Bug in Quicken Classic for Mac for 8.1 (and earlier)

sammysheep

I filed this with support already, but they asked I file it here too.

Description: In Quicken Classic for Mac I created a budget in December 2023. Quicken calls my year "2023" even though it ends in November 2024. I advanced the budget to 2024 when it came time. This budgets starts on Dec 2024 and ends Nov 2025. It calls this budget "2024".

However, when I open my budget, the month defaults to the current month (based on the clock), but the year defaults to the year of my current budget "2024". This means in February 2025 it defaults to my old February 2024 budget. I have to click 12 times every time I open it to get to the correct month. I cry.

The web UI, which has the same budget, does not do this and defaults to February 2025 as expected, so it is NOT a user issue. And yes, I could re-create the budget to fix this, but I'd rather Quicken get fixed instead.

If this project were open-source I'd file a PR, but alas, maybe when 8.1 comes out of beta it can get fixed.

Opening Quicken tonight, it offers me an update to Version 8.1 Beta (February 2025). I have beta updates turned off. What?

Somebody forgot to update the text in the update description, it’s really 8.1.
