Schedule Transactions only auto run on startup

Dave & David,

I too prefer to see those transactions to make sure they were correctly created. I certainly was not suggesting otherwise. (this is already optional of course)

Check the setting in the Overview tab when editing the SX “Notify me when created.” Is that not what you are looking for? There’s also a Preference to set this by default for all future SXs you create and a Preference to “Show Notification Window” under the Since Last Run section of Preferences > Scheduled Transactions.
