Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?
Currently when creating a transfer when you change the "Date" value it will also change the date on receiving account.
This can be problematic because there are cases where the date a transfer was sent is different to the date it's actually received in the payees account (maybe it takes a few days to clear, and then the receiving account date is different)
My suggestion here is to (somehow) allow for the date to not be kept "in sync" and allow for different dates for the transfer. Hope that makes sense.

I think this expands beyond just the date.
A transfer between two accounts should be considered two distinct transactions that are linked. Inbound, and outbound.
In data terms these are different, and could have different properties, transaction date, transaction id, description. The amount I would expect remains the same. Though there may be some case in specific accounts where its currency conversion or fee subtracted. (I think we can exclude).
This would also need to be considered when deleting one of the pair of transactions. As you should be able to delete one but not the other. https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/814

Really feeling the need for this feature right now. I use the running balances feature to reconcile against statements I receive. The linked transactions can have different dates for two accounts ruining the usefulness of the running balances feature as it can only favor one account but not both.
In addition, it would be great to reorder transactions like #1165
@kcollett commented on GitHub (May 5, 2026):
One way I've run into this is in relation to the ability to use drag and drop to reorder transactions with the same date. I had a scenario where I wanted to use this to shift the position of the transfer match that in the statement of the receiving account. To do this, I had to change the date on the transfer to be the posting date in the receiving account, but of course that meant the date of the transfer in the sending account was now incorrect.
