Hello SophieB,
When you turn off the Use current date as default for new transactions option, QuickBooks is designed to follow the date of the last created transaction.
For example, you created a new transaction with the current date. When you edit existing transactions, it will already default to the current date. Hence, you'll need to change the date manually.
I'll let our Product Development Team know about your experience. They evaluate this matter and might put it into consideration for product updates. Your suggestions and feedback would help us improve the product to suit your business needs.
Please let us know if you have other concerns or more of these brilliant suggestions. Have a great day!
