Scheduled transaction is grey (Q Mac)

I have a scheduled transaction that posts monthly and it is always greyed out. If I go to the transaction and use "Set Status of selected transaction" and set the transaction to "Not Cleared" it appears as black - like the rest of the transaction. I don't understand why this one scheduled transaction shows as grey. I don't want to have to mark the transaction a "Not Cleared" each month.

This is a transaction that should never "Clear." It is money that I'm setting aside so it will be available when a major, annual bill comes due
