No. As far as I know the Finance::Quote module that GnuCash uses has no provision to fetch historical prices. If you are into scripting and web scraping, checkout Selenium which has a nice Python interface. Good luck! Geoff = P.S. Always include gnucash-user@gnucash.org on all

Not particularly. The issue is that 11/12 is ambiguous. Is it November 12 or December 11? Using a 2-digit year doesn't help. The best way is to ensure you have a day > 12 in the mix (and a year > 31). So using 12/29/2022 should give you a unique format. You cannot use month names, only
