How to resolve placeholder N/A

Question

The instructions to resolve placeholders doesn't work for me.  I have tried the suggestions, but still end up with an entry that has N/A as the cost.  I have entered a date before the placeholder, but that doesn't remove the N/A.  When I click on Done, it just gives me another box to fill out and that doesn't fix it either.  Just seems to be a loop in logic

If you haven't already, I suggest you delete the placeholder transactions.

Before making any significant changes to your data file, always save a backup: press Ctrl + B

Select Edit > Preferences...

Right-click on each of the placeholder transactions in the investment register and select Delete.

Now, enter the appropriate transactions.
