How do I get the new "Save this to Memorized Payee List" check box to remain unchecked?

Jaz Egg

When entering a transaction for an existing payee, this box is still checked. I have several payees that I have locked because I don't want the categories or amounts to be saved. I have tried turning off "Automatically memorize payees" but the check box remains checked and it keeps saving new versions of the payee with the new category/amount.

@Jaz Egg are you referring to this checkbox?

If so, all you need to do is uncheck the box once, and it will remain unchecked, until you check it again.

I have just started getting that box, and no, it does not remain unchecked for me. It pops up for every transaction, defaulted to checked, and doubly annoying that I can't find a way to get there with the keyboard, so I have to go to the mouse every time. I often choose to not memorize payees that I'm not likely to revisit, or that get different categories on different visits (eg Amazon) and this seems insistent that I memorize a single one.

@mrmathis if it doesn't stay unchecked then try unchecking this option in Edit → Preferences → Data entry and Quickfill -

Then, uncheck the pop-up box. You might need to do it more than one for it to stick.

If the option in Preferences is already unchecked, try unchecking the pop-up box again.

Thanks for the tip @CaliQkn. That option was checked, and unchecking it seem to transfer over and bring the box up unchecked. I had already finished my main checking accounts when I flipped it, but a different credit cards account seems to behave as I'd like it. Thanks!
