In 3.3.1, when a pledge is created on a contribution page, the payments are scheduled for the 1st day of the month.

This is a problem when a person donates on 31 December and the next payment is scheduled for 1 January!

Can I suggest the default is set to one of the following options? (In descending order of preference.)

• The last day of the month (matches the accounting cycle)
• The same day as the pledge creation date, with adjustments for short months (31 Dec, 31 Jan, 28 Feb, ...)

The first option matches the accounting cycle, and gives the benefit of the doubt to the donor (who didn't specify the due date within the month).
The second option prevents cash flows being bunched around the beginning/end of the month.

Thanks,
Ken
