couple of problems with investments
2 pesky problems with investments that Quicken developers should fix:
1st, when copying and pasting a reconciled investment transaction, the pasted transaction is reconciled also. This is not the case with banking transactions - the reconciled flag is off. I prefer the banking behavior. Compounding the problem, one cannot alter the reconciled flag with investment transactions like with banking transactions (where I can choose "Uncleared", "Cleared", or "Reconciled"), so I cannot just remove the flag. Please add the banking-like behavior to the investment transactions. I use the copy/paste to do new similar investment transactions, so this is a nuisance for me.
2nd, when coming back from the online update for investments, I get the line:
15 of 17 quotes and investing headlines updated. See a report.
The report always shows Citigroup (C) and AT&T (T) as flagged for "No new quotes or investing headlines were downloaded for the securities below.". The program lists 4 reasons why this can occur, but they do not apply to both C and T. This has been going on for years in my Quicken program. I've tried various ways to fix this, and none are successful.
