Possible Bug: Quicken Changing Transaction Dates to Posted Dates
Options

Hi all. I have been using Quicken for Mac for a couple years now. I have been experiencing an issue lately where Quicken changes my transaction dates to the bank's posting date.
I know this is an optional feature that can be enabled from Quicken Preferences>Connected Services>Downloaded Transactions. However, I do NOT have the "Use posted date for matched transactions (instead of the date you enter manually)" option selected.
This has been very annoying. Especially for someone who is very picky about their data. I've reported this issue several times now, beginning several weeks ago. No updates or acknowledgement yet. Is anyone else experiencing this?

There is an ongoing alert for this: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7924677/ongoing-12-13-22-quicken-for-mac-date-of-manual-transactions-are-changing-when-cleared#latest
Some users have been able to resolve it by deleting the Quicken preferences file and then resetting all of their preferences. Here's that process:- Quit Quicken
- Locate the quicken preferences file at Users:(your username) :Library:Preferences:com.quicken.Quicken.plist (click the Go menu in Finder with Option key held down to access your user Library folder)
- Move the plist file to the Desktop (so you can put it back later if needed)
- Launch Quicken (a new preferences file will be created with default settings)
- Check that the option to change dates box is NOT checked
- Reset preferences as needed (It would be helpful to save screenshots before starting)
- Test to see if the issue is resolved.

From Quicken > Settings > Connected Services, in the Downloaded Transactions section I have unchecked the "Use posted date for matched transactions (instead of the date you enter manually)" box. However, all of my matched transactions are still getting switched to the posted date. This is very frustrating especially around this time of year when I have numerous transactions. Please help.0

I'm having the same problem over the past 2 weeks. Tried resetting, closing, and reopening multiple times and that hasn't fixed it. Hoping someone will have some suggestions for us.0

@"Quicken Anja" I have phoned, left a post here, and submitted a Problem Report. I was told to copy my Quicken file to a new one and redo everything to see if that fixes the issue. I have tried every option. Any further troubleshooting on my part and I am going to send Quicken my bill rate for IT level 3 troubleshooting support. :D0

Hi RickO. I appreciate your response. I have been keeping an eye on the ongoing alert link you provided, which appeared to indicate that the problem has been resolved... However, I am unable to view that link anymore. I receive an error on the Quicken website that reads, "Permission problem. You don't have permission to do that".
Furthermore, as of this reply, I am running the latest version of Quicken for macOS (Version 6.11.3 (Build 611.47347.100)), and the issue is still occurring.
I would prefer not to delete my entire preference file, if possible. This bug appeared on its own and it should be fixed by whomever caused it... Are there any updates on the resolution of this problem?
Thank you!0 -
The link still works for me and is marked as resolved as of 12/20/22. One option would for you to contact Quicken Support. It may be necessary (recognizing that it's a pain) to delete your prefs file. Other than that, I don't have any new info.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s0

That’s so odd. I am still getting the website error when I try to visit the link (see attachment). I’ll give support a try. Thanks again for the help!

I would like to give a Me Too here. I'm having this issue and what's more. It's fairly annoying to have to recreate the transaction. I have deleted my preferences and it has made no difference for me. The transactions are still out of line.
I also can't view that link provided above, I get the same "Permission" problem as LotsaCaffeine mentioned above.
One way this could be solved would be for you to see transactions that our outside of the month? I seem to remember that before it would show you all UNRECONCILED transactions in the reconciliation window.0 -
