SUMMARY
I am trying to create scheduled transactions to represent due dates on a credit card. The card itself is normally at a zero-dollar balance, other than an occasional transaction, since it's for emergency purposes - as such, the scheduled transaction should have a $0.00 amount.

I was able to get this transaction entered by creating the schedule for $0.01, using "enter next transaction", updating the value to 0.00 for the 'real' transaction, selecting "use these values for all future transactions", and then deleting the fake $0.01 transaction.

However, this work-around seems to have to be done for any changes to the schedule, from renaming it to changing the date of the next transaction, and it's really tedious.

There should be a more user friendly way to achieve the above.

I wonder if the user could just skip the scheduled transaction (instead of entering it) if the balance is 0, or does he really want to enter the 0 amount transaction? (I also posted this to the forum.)

(Could this be considered a duplicate of bug 368106?)

In deed, it's related but not the same issue. One is talking about an empty name the other of a zero amount. But hey, good catch.
