Duplicate future transactions on different dates

Question

One of my wife's retirement checks is paid monthly but on different dates. Would be very nice if I could put in a repeating transaction but be able to change the date for each monthly transaction or have the capability to copy and paste a transaction in the monthly calendar. Currently I have to manually enter a complete transaction (including splits) each month.

Another way would be to schedule the auto-entry of your transaction a day before the earliest possible date.  Then when the bank download arrives, just edit the date to match the actual date.

@Lloyd Young 
does that payment date always fall on, e.g., the last Wednesday of the month? That's easily available when setting up a Scheduled ReminderIf it's "last business day" or "last work day" please review

and hope for change to come soon. It's in the works, they say ...
For manually entering another occurrence of a Split transaction ... have you memorized the previous occurrence? If so, then reusing that entry from the Memorized Payee List should be quick and easy.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do something similar to this currently. The difference in my case can be as much as 5 days and there are reasons I would prefer the transaction appear in the register on the exact date. What I do currently is put the transaction in as a repeating transaction and when the current months transaction posts in the register, I go to the repeating transaction and update the date to the date it is going to post the next month. At least this saves me from entering all the details of the transaction every month and gets it in the register on the correct date each month.
