Updating a specific account when a connection fails or a 'Retry' is needed

Question? Why does the update routine call the general update process when an account fails to connect and needs a retry? I ask because this tries to update all again, not just the specified account. Why does the program not call the same routine or a similar routine, like updating a login or changing a login, which only updates that specific account?

    The mods might wish to move this to a Mac forum.

    The "Update Selected Account" (or any of its variations) behavior depends on the connection type:

    Direct Connect: this will update all the accounts held with that specific Financial Institution.

    Quicken Connect: this will update all Quicken connected accounts

    Due to the complexity of what is happening behind the scenes , it's likely the developers have it working this way for a reason.
