Re: [GNC] Stock Split assistant
Two things. 1. The number of shares field is parsed according to the preference. In my case that means that "4000" is parsed into "40.00" I like not having to put in the decimal point when entering currency values. 2. I had the "fractions traded" on my stock set to 1/1. In that case the stock split assistant interpreted "40" as "0.40". A value less than 1 whole share was discarded by the split tool. When I changed the security fractions to 1/100, a split of "40" yielded 10.40 shares, as expected.

Re: [GNC] Stock Split assistant
I wonder if that is related to "Fractions Traded" on the particular Share. if you open "Security Editor" and check, do you have "1/100" as "Fractions Traded"?

[GNC] Stock Split assistant
I have found that the "Shares" field in the Stock Split Details window parses the entry according to my numbers preference for currency value entries. For example, entering 4000 is parsed into 40.00. (My preferences in General -> Numbers is set to automatic decimal point.) If I enter "40" without a decimal point the transaction is treated as a no-op because the stock is set up to only trade in whole numbers. 40 is parsed as 0.4. Anyway, I spent some time thinking the stock split tool did not work. Just a data entry issue. Apple and Tesla are doing forward splits at the end of the month so the stock split tool is useful.

Re: [GNC] Stock split assistant fail
I was doing the TSLA 5-1 split. I put 40 in Shares. Empty New Price (tried an amount too). Next out of Cash in lieu. Apply in Stock Split Finish. And nada. Cancel and Back buttons are active. Apply is grayed. Cancel cancels and Back goes back.

[GNC] Stock split assistant fail
Hi, On my Mac Using Version: 4.1 Build ID: 4.1+(2020-07-25) Finance::Quote: 1.47 When I enter the data for a stock split of a stock, the assistant does a no-op. No transaction is created (that I have found). Is this a known problem or is it just me?
