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

Research direction
Examine the scheduled transaction posting workflow in the frontend code. The bug suggests that when a user posts a scheduled transaction and then changes its date, the schedule is not removed. Look for logic that handles the removal of scheduled transactions after posting, possibly in files like `packages/loot core/src/server/schedules/` or in the React components. Check the conditions under which the schedule is marked as completed.
