I appreciate how you manage your cheque in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Linda. Currently, there are no updates regarding this feature. Let me provide you with more information below.
If the cheque is meant for a future date, make sure to create it in QBDT for that specific period to align the scheduled bill payment. To manage costs effectively it is recommended to use the Accounts Payable (A/P) feature when making advance payments to suppliers.
Furthermore, the system recognizes and uses the date that is printed on the cheque at the time it is created. Therefore, we must rely on this printed date as the official date for each cheque.
Additionally, QuickBooks relies on your computer's calendar for the cheque you want to print. If you need to set a post-dated cheque, you can temporarily change your computer's calendar to the desired date. Remember to reset it to the current date once the printing is completed.

Memorizing cheques in QuickBooks Desktop allows for automated processing of recurring payments, such as rent or subscription fees, reducing the need for manual intervention. Please check out this article for a reference: Create an automatic recurring payment (cheque) to a supplier.
