Add a note field to Bill and Income Reminders

Some bills are automatically paid and some are not. I would like a way to identify which is which on the Bill and Income reminders box. I don't want to use the auto enter on Quicken because I want to be sure the money is available in the account before it is entered. Having a note field would be useful for this along with any other identification I would use for a bill. The memo field on the bill does not display on Bill and Income Reminders.

    Have you tried the Stack view on the Bills and Income page? That shows whether a Reminder is auto entered and also shows the Memo if there is one.

    I wish it also showed the account that it will be paid from or deposited to.

    I have asked for this same thing, but it dies on the vine and then disappears from the Community.

    I use the Bill and Income Reminders widget that can be added to a Home tab customized view. I think Quicken needs to start adding more user options to select what fields are displayed in many of their views. The Comment or Note field from a payment or bill is quite reasonable to want viewable.

    Good luck.

    I like to keep track of details on my various "Bill Reminders". I have about 40 of them, and most of them are automatic. But sometimes, the details of the bill, or the breakdown of the amounts, I have to keep elsewhere. It would be nice to add a freeform "Note" section to that reminder so I can keep track of details such as cost breakdowns, account numbers, phone numbers, renewal dates, etc. for that bill. I see I can do that for transactions, but not reminders. Seems like that type of functionality should be available to ALL elements of the Quicken app.

    In case you missed it … there is a Memo field, optionally available in the Bill and Income Reminders tab:

    Check the Options gear icon and click to put a checkmark at "Show memos for bills".
    See the blue box above for an example.
