Allow updating or removing the payee's name from the list

JE TXUS

I can update the Category and Tags lists just fine, but I can’t seem to update the Payee list.

I’m guessing that at some point, someone misspelled a payee’s name, and now that typo is immortalized forever, serving as a permanent reminder of our typing skills, at least for me.

Quicken, please fix this design flaw so users can edit or remove payee names from the list.

Sorry I don't have a solution for your misspelled payee, but I hope this helps!

I believe the payee list either comes from previous transactions or things like recurring transactions. If you can find the mis-spelled one by searching previous transactions, you may be able to correct it.

@JE TXUS , yea, @RobWilk is correct. The Payee list is compiled automatically from two sources: (1.) The payees listed on individual transactions and (2.) The payee name in your Recurring Series. If your finding McDonaldds in the auto fill suggestions when entering a new transaction, but you don’t find any transactions with that particular misspelling, then check your Recurring Series and you’ll find it there.

I will echo the above and also mention that if your transaction list is filtered to only show from a specific year or later, you may need to switch it to All Time (temporarily) to find and fix the transaction with the wrong payee name.
