Downloads populating check field with a 0

@troholt said: [Removed - Disruptive/Profanity] I am getting the same issue with USAA.

Well, the two people who had posted above didn't indicate what financial institutions this was with, nor that anyone had seen it in multiple accounts. I was trying to help, including testing on my own data, and don't appreciate your reply calling my attempt to help “[Removed - Profanity]”, so I will bow out of trying to help. One suggestion before I go: you might want to contact Quicken Support if you want Quicken to fix it; this site is not Quicken Support.

@UKR In Quicken Mac, you can't do a Search on a single character. But you could click on the Check # column heading to sort by check number, so all the checks numbered 0 would be together to select them for mass editing (aka replace). Unfortunately, the Transaction Inspector screen, where mass edits are accomplished, does not have the Check # field — which is not so surprising, since one wouldn't want to replace the check numbers on multiple transactions with the same value. So there's no way to do such a search and replace that I can think of.

There should be a way to fix that … hello, programmers, anybody listening???

Well first, no, no programmers listen here. ;)

Second, this is a small piece of the larger issue of not having a full-fledged search-and-replace or find-and-replace feature in Quicken Mac. The Transaction Info window is useful for some mass edits, but it doesn't apply to split lines, so it's not usable as a global search-and-replace. The Transaction Info also doesn't include the Action field, which some users utlize and would like to be able to mass edit. (I'm not sure there's really a normal need for mass edits to the Check number field; I'd be afraid it would let users inadvertently wipe out lots of real check numbers by mistake.)

Hopefully if USAA fixes their downloads, or Intuit writes a script to turn the zeros in the chck number field into blanks, manually cleaning up a month or two of check number=0 transactions is annoying but not a huge job (unless the user has hundreds of transactions per month).

Adding the check number field to the mass edit window in Quicken Mac would be fine; I was only explaining that it is a small piece, and likely not the most pressing piece, of a larger feature improvement need. ;) There is an existing Idea thread for adding the Date field to the Edit Transaction window, so perhaps adding the request for the Check # field to that thread would get it some future visibility. But I'd note that the thread has only 4 votes after 18 months, so it's probably not moving up the priority list anytime soon. Or a new Idea post could be creating to request the addition of the Check # column to the bulk edit window; that would probably take even longer to get enough critical mass to be seen by the developers.
