[GNC] How to setup a Scheduled Transaction for full current Credit Card Balance?

I'm still adjusting to GnuCash as a former Quicken user; and I have a
question about setting up Scheduled Transactions for my Checking
account. In Quicken it was fairly straightforward to create Bill
Reminders (essentially Scheduled Transactions) in Checking for each of
my Credit Card accounts. And the amounts in each Reminder could be set
to track each Credit Card balance. Those Reminder amounts would update
automatically as new transactions got entered into each Credit Card
account. That was great. I could look at a list of Bill Reminders in
my Checking account and see in advance how much money would be needed
each month to pay off all the upcoming credit card bills.
In GnuCash though when I setup a Scheduled Transaction for my Checking
account there doesn't seem to be anyway of doing that. The Template
Transaction requires me to enter a FIXED amount for each Credit Card
account. So the list of Scheduled Transactions won't really reflect my
CURRENT Credit Card balances -- not unless I manually go and update them
everyday. I've looked thru the GnuCash documentation; but I don't see
any mention anywhere about this topic. Is there some way to have
Scheduled Transactions automatically show the full current Credit Card
account balances?
