Change the opening date of a bank account?
If you've created a bank account with an incorrect opening date, is there a way to change that date? I linked a bank account during my QuickBooks Online account setup and it pulled in 90 days worth of transactions. I only wanted to pull in transactions since January 1.
I've tried to delete all the transactions prior to Jan 1, and changed the Opening Balance Equity transaction to Jan 1, 2022, but on the Business view, in the Overview page, when I choose the "Cash balance" on the "Cash flow" widget, it shows a cash balance starting in Nov:
However, I have zero transactions that are in any account register prior to Jan 1, 2022, as evidenced by this report:
My best guess is that somehow the Cashflow widget is checking my Opening Balance Equity account and pushing that amount out to Nov 15, 2021, when it thinks my first bank account was opened. So... is it possible to change that opening balance date? If so, how? And if that's not the issue, what's going on here?
