Paychecks suddenly started entering automatically after one step update

allion

Has anyone seen this recently? I've had my paycheck reminder setup for literally a couple of decades and about 2-3 months ago, it started entering in my checking register automatically even though it's configured to just remind me. It happens when I open Quicken on or after the reminder's due date. I deleted and recreated the paycheck reminder to no avail. This has been very annoying and a big waste of time because I have to cleanup the entries (my paycheck amounts alternate every 2 weeks) and Quicken doesn't enter the amount as the nicely formatted paycheck object, but like a regular deposit transaction with a ton of splits. This is identical to the issue another user posted last year at

and unfortunately it was closed without a clear resolution. Any idea what caused this issue happen?

Hello @allion,

Thank you for letting us know you're seeing this issue. To help troubleshoot, please provide more information. Did you check the paycheck income reminder to confirm that the series didn't somehow get changed to automatic entry? When the paychecks are automatically going into your register, are they being matched to a downloaded transaction? If they are matching, you'll often be able to tell due to a blue pencil icon next to the transaction in your register.

I look forward to your response!

Yes, this is happening with me as well. It's been doing it for several months now. And as of this week it's started to bleed into bill reminders as well, not just paychecks.

For the paychecks, I'm seeing the exact same thing you are. They enter as a regular split transaction and NOT as a paycheck.

None of my reminders are set to auto-enter. I only have them set to remind. I have confirmed this for all reminders.

I've tried recreating the reminders but that doesn't solve it either.

Hello @dxmnkd316,

Thank you for letting us know you're encountering this issue also. Are the reminders that are auto entering into your register matching to a downloaded transaction?

Are the paycheck reminders that are turning into regular split transactions doing this only when they are automatically entered in your register, or have you noticed something else triggering this behavior? Has this been happening for several months also, or is it a newer behavior?

I look forward to your reply!

So? What happened? I've been experiencing this same issue for weeks now.
