I refer the following page and have been able to enter without any problems.
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/invest-dividends1.html 9.8. Dividends - GnuCash<https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/invest-dividends1.html> If the dividend is presented as cash, you should record the transaction in the asset account that received the money, as income from Income:Dividends.Additionally if you want to tie the cash dividend to a particular stock holding then add a dummy transaction split to the stock account with quantity 0 price 1 value 0. www.gnucash.org if you enter dividend directly outside the stock account, then it will not reflect in your Portfolio report.

I attempted to enter a split transaction in the 'dividend' income page, and then it vanished: I found it had transferred to the company stock tab: It appeared to be correct, and the amounts ending up in the correct accounts :) So I was able to enter ALL the data for that stock, and then I was even able to enter the final sale and scrub the account correctly. I can not express how WILD, FRUSTRATED and angry I was with myself. But it's now done, and I can always refer to that as a template/transaction to copy. Is there a function to 'lock' an account so it can no longer be edited accidentally? Thank you everyone, I really, really appreciate your patience and help. On 22/1/23 18:57, Maf.
