Apologies for the confusion and duplication. I noticed the reference to
the Dev list in the heading and wrongly assumed that I therefore needed
to forward this item to the User list, which therefore got two copies.
My current query is at the foot of this message.

I've been wrestling for a while with
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347166 "Price/share" field on
investment transaction entry form is mislabeled. Actually is total
buy/sale amount.
Jack has noticed that if a Dividend transaction is edited to be a
Reinvest, the price field has no label. I then found that this
happens also with Buy or Sell transactions. That is easily fixed.
Then I noticed that once the above edit has completed, the resulting
transaction is unbalanced, that is, it has an incorrect interest
amount. The erroneous amount corresponds with the amount of the
original Dividend transaction.
I've been trying to eradicate that, but the only way I've found, is
to remove the Interest field from Reinvest transactions (and
presumably Buy and Sell, but I've not looked at them).
a) Is this likely to be a problem to anyone?
b) Can anyone see a better way to resolve this? I'm sure there must
be one.

First, whether that field is total amount or price per share depends on
the configuration, and I think there are multiple levels, in that you
can specify specifically for that equity, for that investment account,
and overall for KMM.
I don't see how you can remove the interest field from a reinvest
transaction. I use that to specify (using different categories)
whether the amount is taxable or not, dividend, foreign dividend, .....
I also don't see how you can remove it. I have dividends which get reinvested
and the dividend has to be reported as income at tax year end. The interest
field is used for that information.
Dave.
A supplementary question, now.
In the process of testing, I noticed that the Buy transaction allows
input of a dividend amount, but that amount is discarded on saving.
Can anyone see a legitimate need for a Dividend on a Buy transaction?
It seems to me to be a bit improbable, but others may differ.
Either way, if the field is needed, I think it needs fixing.
What say you, anyone?
