QOL Feature: When Splitting a transaction, add effective date

One of the ideas of splitting a payment or transaction is to spread the transaction over a few months to ensure the month you over spent you can take back the money spent over time and allows you to ensure you remain within budget over time.

Currently when I split a transaction, I want to set an effective date but this can only be done after splitting and adding. If any edits are made to the split transactions. Its treated as a new transaction and as a result the effective date is reset.

Is there a way we can set the effective date when splitting the transaction. it would improve the overall splitting function and ensure if any edits are made. The changes can be done all on 1 screen/ pop up.

If this can be done. Kindly advise.
