This was not a problem in previous versions of QuickBooks desktop. The slow loading started in QuickBooks 2023, or whatever version moved the mileage tracking program from the desktop app to an online loader. This did nothing to improve vehicle mileage tracking capability, but instead made everything slower.
The desktop version allowed the job number to be typed, with the list being character sensitive. Just like with timesheets, the client name or job would pop up as the name was being typed. Now only the client name will pop up. The entire list must be scrolled through to use a job number or name. Very cumbersome. The class and the item will pop up when typing, but it takes a long time before it does. Sometimes it's faster to scroll through the list. The Vehicle is not character sensitive, and the user must scroll through the list.
In short, QuickBooks took an already cludgy dialogue box and made it worse. Oh, and now we have to buy an annual license at $1K per pop instead of a once-every-three year $350 downloadable or CD upgrade. Way to go QuickBooks. More cost, less quality. I hope the CEO got a raise.
