I'm sorry to say but you just shot yourself in the foot.  Those
Automatic Payment Forward transactions needed to stay there -- they
existed specifically to allow you to pay multiple transactions with one
payment.

Right now, your ONLY option is to delete all your payment transactions
and re-enter them all.

Sorry.  That's all you can do.
