Description

Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When I pay a bill ahead of it's due date, I post the scheduled transaction in Actual and change the date to the actual date of payment. When I change the date of the posted transaction, the schedule reappears again in the transactions table.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Setup an upcoming scheduled transaction image
  2. Post the scheduled transaction image
  3. Change the transaction date to the date today image
  4. The upcoming scheduled transaction reappears

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the logic for posting scheduled transactions and how date changes affect the schedule. Look for the code that handles 'post transaction' and 'update transaction date' to find where the schedule is mistakenly reappearing.
