Thanks Gyle, that saves some steps.
However, I do agree with the OP in that you would think the expected
behavior would be to pause when disabled, and then when reenabled to not go
back to prior to that point.
How far back? How far in the future? That's why there are dates
there. If you want it to start this month, then change the start date.
If next month then enter that date. If last month or two months ago
(because you are late restarting) then that date.
If all you do is remove the disable flag and you leave the dates as they
were then the application is doing as instructed.
Many times as a developer I've wished for the DWIM hardware instruction
to be active -- Do What I Mean (and not as I said).

Subject: Re: [GNC] Scheduled transactions feature or bug?
I'm glad I saw this post as I have a disabled scheduled transaction that I
was getting ready to renable myself. I guess the solution would be to
delete the recurring and enter a new one.
I would have also expected that enabling would start that day time
otherwise what would a disable button really be used for if it goes back
and enters transactions as if it was never disabled?

I had a scheduled transfer to savings that I disabled for a few months.
When I re-enabled the scheduled transfer I did not change the start
date. I
was very surprised to find that when it ran that it entered transactions
for all of the months when it was disabled.
Automatically altering the past seems extremely dangerous. It seems to
me
a warning should be given or scheduled transactions should only insert
future transactions.
