Tracking US Savings Bond Interest does NOT update Market Value

Unknown

I want to track the value of US Savings Bonds (2018 Quicken for Windows ). Going by the instructions in Quicken, I have setup a Brokerage acct and a security for my series EE bonds. I then entered a Buy transaction for initial shares along with the price/share. Then, I entered an Intinc transaction for all of the interest earned todate. However, the market value is not updated to reflect the current value of the bonds. If I use the ReInv transaction I have to enter the number of shares which increases the share balance and changes the market value to the total interest re-invested NOT the total bond price plus the interest. Is there a way to enter Interest Income and have the market value reflected correctly?

Some years back I entered my US Savings bonds as per Quicken's instructions.  One share for each bond and purchase/maturity date. Using Savings Bond Wizard, I ran updates each quarter and used Interest Income transactions to update the bond's value. when I look at the details for each bond category, I can see the amount of interest accrued to the bonds in that group.  But when looking at the Investing tab, Quicken only lists the interest in a summary "cash" line for all the bonds, nothing for the individual bond categories. Not a big deal for me, now that all have reached final maturity.  However, if I was actively buying bonds, I would be disappointed in the lack of functionality.  And that Quicken will not update them automatically.
