When setting up a recurring transaction from an existing transaction, the dialog currently (as of May, 2023) asks for Next Date first, then the payment frequency.
The order of those two fields should be reversed, with the Frequency being requested first, followed by the Next Date. This would allow the Next Date to automatically default to the next date based on the frequency selected. For example if I'm on a current transaction for May 9, 2023 and I select a Yearly freequency, the Next Date field could automatically default to May 9, 2024.
I often have made "errors" when setting up recurring transactions because I set the freequency but forget to back up a step and corret the Next Date field. I'm not the only one who has experienced this. See
