Hi everyone: GnuCash "remembers" the description of postings and fills in previous values, e.g. for account and value. This memory seems to be account dependent, i.e. postings from one account are not remembered in another. Is it possible to turn the automatic population of post

If dividends are reinvested, they do add to the cost basis. Wouldn't that be considered "Money In" by the Advanced Portfolio Report? Or is it only "New" money? I think that the dividend income and security purchase or zero share security reference split lines need to be in the same transaction
