flywire,
You're crossing up threads here. Jim specifically needs to create
Security entries in his GnuCash file (and has stated this on several
occasions) so that he can add transactions for those securities later.
Your advice regarding adding commodity transactions using csv import
tools is besides his point and off his topic.
It would be preferable for you to add your comments to a new thread, so
that others can focus on Jim's problem here while more directly helping
you address the issues that you have encountered on a separate thread.

I haven't used GnuCash securities before the last week and I'm still not
clear about them. I understood importing security entries were
transactions. Further to my last post with minimal security information the
fraction traded is not required.
I hadn't realised importing transactions with securities was failing
because the securities hadn't been created. Anyway, that's done now.
File, Import, Transactions from CSV
Next, PP-Demo_Transactions.csv, Next
Multi-split, DateFormat, Leading Lines to Skip 1,
Date, Description, Action, Account, Deposit, Price
Next
Map Account ID to Account Name, Next, Next
In contrast to importing accounts from csv, which runs nicely, the header
line is not recognised. The mapping process is still a meaningless chore
that would be worth automating.
Unfortunately, it fails on security capital gains as shown in the
screenshot, so the imbalance has to be manually moved back to the security.
With that, the portfolio is fully loaded.
