Why? Can't you just edit the date on the transaction and change it.

I must be missing something. Not being able to use today's day would make it impossible to enter transactions on the day they occurred. Are you asking for some switch that could be set before entering historical transactions? It seems like a cumbersome solution to a non-problem.
