I think that's a cool feature, but I'm not convinced of it's utility.
Basically it saves a single step of manually entering a number into
a form.

But you can't really use it for much forcasting. Let's say that
your credit card billing date is the 15th of the month and that the
due date is the 30th of the month. If you had this feature, you'd
be able to forcast from the 15th to the 30th what your checking
account value would look like after on the 30th. But you wouldn't know
until the 15th of the next month what it would look for that month.

If you're thinking of this as a cash flow mechanism, I think you
might misunderstand the way that Money looks at credit cards.

Being able to forcast the amount that you transfer from your checking
account to your credit card account is not nearly as important as
being able to forcast your spending in your credit card account.
Money already allows you to do that.

This is an excellent feature in Intuit (Quicken) where one can select an
option of "Pay full bill".

I think, this will be an excellent feature which helps the user in getting
the correct picture of future consolidate asset deducting already marked
expenses.

I don't think there's any way to do this. At least I have not
found any way to do it. Basically, Money would need to know the
billing date of your credit card in order to estimate what the
total bill was. I don't see any configuration item in the account
details for a credit card that says this.

I just estimate over the last 12 payments and then when I sit down
to pay my credit card I manually enter the correct amount.

Have you tried putting the CC into the Debt Reduction Planner with Pay in
full each month checked?

When I setup recurring bills, e.g. credit card payment, is there any way in
which the bill list will display the exact amount due for a particular credit
card.

I could only find the estimated value you enter, and thus, it does not truly
reflect the amount to be paid.
