@nortsandcrosses Your suggestion makes a lot of sense to me! It did make me question whether a bill that comes in on, say, the 13th and is due the 6th of the following month would have an incorrect due date, but it looks like QBO calculates it correctly (in case anyone else is concerned).

For example:

bill date: 13 Nov 2022

due date: 6 Dec 2022

I was worried QBO would make the due date 6 Nov (wanting to keep everything in the same month, given the "Due the next month..." option), but fortunately it does not. I've had to do a lot of experimenting with how to get the right due dates for vendors that have odd terms (I'm seeing this a lot with US insurance companies), like the 23 days in the above example. It's a different issue, but I wish we could simply type the due date into the recurring transaction rather than having to choose from a drop-down. If I have bills due every day of the month and terms ranging from upon receipt to 30 days, that's a lot of scrolling. I do understand that free-form fields make reporting very difficult, but in terms of due dates it would certainly make my life easier to just type it in. OK, off my soap box. Thanks for your solution!
