Group Transactions, unable to change reminder # of days

Nelson Spitnale

Windows Quicken Deluxe R65.17 - This problem has been recurring for as long as I can remember.

Group Transactions reminder pops up 3 days ahead of when I want to be reminded. I have edited the Transaction Group and the Individual Transactions, but there is no place to change the number of days. This reminder needs to be at the Group Transaction level.

Bill and Income Reminders/All Bills & Deposits Tab - Table includes a column "Show in List" but is not editable and upon edit does not have Optional Settings. The individual transactions included in the group, also do not have Optional Settings, as if it is hidden for these transactions when they are included in a group.

Non Group Transactions have Optional Settings, one of which is "Remind me # of days in advance" (Change) which allows one to set the number of days desired.

Please let me know if there is another way to change the # of days that I haven't mentioned.

Hello @Nelson Spitnale,

Thank you for reaching out. While their functions are similar, transaction groups are designed differently, and as a result, don't offer the same optional settings that bill reminders do. If this is something you'd like to see changed, I recommend creating an Idea post. Ideas that get enough votes may be implemented in the future!

You may be able to work around the limitation by changing the due date by a few days in order to get the reminder to show up when you want to see it. However, that would cause Quicken to think the transaction group is due later than it really is, which could throw off budgets and projections that include those categories and accounts.

I hope this helps!
