Welcome to the Community, @tradebox786. The Pay Bills feature in QuickBooks Online is designed to process payments in batches, which is why it defaults to a single date for all selected items.
To capture different dates correctly, the best approach is to group your bills by their specific payment date and process them in small batches, clicking Save and close between each group.
For example, if you have several bills paid on January 1st, check only those specific bills, set the date to the 1st, and process that set first. Then, repeat this for your next group. If you have bills paid on January 10th, check those off, set the date to the 10th, and process that batch as well.
Alternatively, if these payments have already cleared your bank and are visible in the Pending section of your Bank transactions page, you can simply match them to your open bills. This will automatically record the payment using the correct date from your bank statement.
I've also included this guide on how to reconcile accounts as a future resource, just in case you want to verify your balances later on: Learn the reconcile workflow.
