Category field corrupt?

deriter

This just started this morning, but when I try to add a category to a downloaded transaction, the "add account" dialog box pops up instead of the "category" box. I have to type in the category instead of choosing it from a drop down box. (Quicken Classic Deluxe V R65.29 on Windows 11 PC)

Never mind. I recently made a series of payments via Zelle. Those were the transactions for which the category dropdown box did not appear. When I went to make a screenshot of the issue, I realized that the transactions had been automatically marked "TXFR" in the check number field. No wonder the account dropdown appears instead of category. I just wasn't observant enough at first.

OK. Thanks for responding. Next time you trip over this problem, grab a screen snapshot and attach it here.

I'll have to try tomorrow to replicate the situation and get screen shots. I don't currently have any uncategorized transactions, and when I deleted a transaction category, saved it, then tried to replicate the error… the error didn't occur. Thanks for your responses.

Also, no… the category does not start with "[".

When trying to add the category name, does the name start with a "[" square bracket? That's a Quicken shortcut to create a transfer-to-account transaction.
