Jack,

for a one-time issue like you describe, use Actions-> Scheduled
Transactions-> Scheduled Transactions Editor to edit that transaction by
changing it to Remind in Advance 15 days.

Save transaction.

then run Since Last Run to get it into the account register.  Then edit it
as needed.

Alternatively, just find last month's transaction and copy it to today's
date and edit it as needed.
