Not a data issue or update issue.  This has been an issue in every version of QB since the batch entry feature came out.  Every time I do batch entry I have to go back into my preferences and remark the checkbox to automatically recall.  This has been in every client in ever version of QB for years now.  I fix would be great.  The only thing I found that will help not unmark it is a) you can only tab through the fields in the batch entry, as soon as you use the arrows you lose the setting.  You cannot copy or paste in the batch entry, or the setting disappears too.  Usually, if I reverse tab I will lose the setting too, but not every time (might have something to do with how many spaces you reverse tab).   All I know is that it is a QB issue, not a file issue (like I said years with every client and every version of QBs, just like everyone else posting here).    It is a pain in the butt and super annoying, and have been hoping for a fix, instead of the popular update your software or repair you file answer the give for everything, even after you say you have done all that and it is over 100 clients and every version since batch entry came out :-(
