Flywire,
I didn't "make the case that coverage of basis cost is incomplete in the
guide". I made the point that the approach provided for entering a
return of capital has a few shortcomings with regard to lot management
and income tracking.
As to whether or not the basis costs are adequately discussed in the
guide, I suggest reviewing the section on Selling Shares:
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/invest-sell1.html
My understanding is GnuCash's lot management support was added late and,
with regard to capital gains of securities, doesn't play well with a few
of the approaches described in the guide.
Regards,
Sherlock

you make the case that coverage of basis cost is incomplete in the
guide. It would be good to see that discussion developed in the list,
wiki, or guide. (I've never needed to split a parcel with multiple
basis cost transactions.)
