Can I change the date to default to the last entered date?

Thanks for checking this out in the Community, retha-purplegem-.

As you may have observed, the program will automatically use today's date when creating a transaction. For now, there's no option to assign the last used date as default. 

I totally see how this can help you work in QBO a little faster. I would recommend sending feedback about this to our product engineers. Customer suggestions and feature requests are reviewed when new updates are designed. Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Type in your feedback and suggestions about changing the default transaction date in QBO.
3. Click Next to submit them.

I also want to share these articles in case you want to adjust your account settings:
