Changing the "Start Date" of recurring transactions doesn't update the transactions #31

Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

My girlfriend and I are using WYGIWYH extensively this weekend to track our transactions of the last months, so we stumbled upon some questions or maybe bugs, therefor my issue reports. I hope I don't create too many of them, I don't want to annoy you :D
To the issue: If you create a recurring transaction, let's say with the start date 15.01.25 with monthly recurrence intervall and then after creating it go to the transaction menu and edit the recurring transaction with another start date, for example 01.01.25. Then the new date get's saved to the recurring transaction, but the regular transactions created by the recurring one do not update. Is this intended? If yes, is there any way to change the date other then deleting the recurring transaction and create a new one?
That's it from me for today :D Thanks and regards!

Thank you for the invaluable feedback! Hopefully your SO and you are enjoying WYGIWYH.
When you update a Recurring Transaction existing unpaid transactions get updated, but only their description, categories, and so on, not their dates. Truth is, changing dates can get really messy really fast.
Is there a reason why you don't want to delete the wrong recurring transaction? For example, maybe you've been paying something every 1st and in 2025 it changed to the 15th or something like that.
@eitchtee commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2025):
If that's the case I'd recommend finishing the Recurrence and creating a new one with the new date, so you keep the old transactions, and get the new updated ones.
Otherwise I'd like to know more about what/why you want exactly.
