When the Scheduled Transaction druid comes up, be sure to tick the checkbox
for "Review created transactions." That will put up a "general
ledger"-style listing showing all the new transactions, and you can edit
them, including copy/pasting similar text into each one. Especially easy if
it's essentially the same text for a shared expense, like "painted lines in
the car park" or "city-required fee."

If you did not edit the transactions when they got created, you can search
for the ones already created and use the same procedure to edit the results
of that search.
