Jimmy,  Are you using the Price Database editor?  That doesn't even know 
whether you own shares.

2.6.12 ( from Ubuntu 16.04 )  using the Ubuntu Software Centre.


In both 14.04 and 16.04 I successfully used F:Q to upload prices for all of my 
securities which I had set “ Get online quotes” and most of currencies which I 
had set “ Get online quotes” most of the time .


Up to early 2019 I was able to manually input back dated prices for both 
securities and currencies

eg input a 31 Dec 19 price in Mar 2020.


Now I am not able to do this . I do not know the exact date of the change.


I find that for securities I can only input a backdated price if there are no 
holdings in the security.


For currencies I can input a backdated price for some currencies but not others 
I cannot.


Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi Jimmy,

There were several bugs in the Price Database that have been fixed.
Eg https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797046 fixed in late 3.4 maint
builds.
Unfortunately Ubuntu 18.04 only has Gnucash 2.6.21,
19.10 (unstable) has 3.7 and 20.04 will have 3.8b.
3.7 should have all the fixes you need.

I suggest upgrading to Ubuntu 19.10 or wait for  20.04, or try flatpack, or
compile from source...

See https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/maint/

Regards, Chris Good
