Dividend transaction records are being saved as stock splits

BobCarl

Mutual funds - Investing - started today January 2, 2021 - last time I updated transactions (on or about December 10th it worked correctly)

When loading records from a QIF file that are marked as 'Dividend' as the transaction type they are saved in the file as stock splits.

When manually entering a 'dividend' after it has been saved it appears in the transaction log as a stock split. (even though the 'dividend' was selected and verified it is saved incorrectly

Will there be a correction to the bug?

When entering the dividends, make sure you select the Income or Reinvest action and not Div - Stock dividend.

That is for manual entry - that does not address the automated import function that is broken. This is a bug

What version are you running - did it recently update since December ?

.... Help ---> About Quicken

And have you looked at your QIF file with Notepad - and can verify all is ok ?

Can we get a snippet of the QIF file transaction in question ?

Quicken Premier - year 2020 - R30.14 - build 27.1.30.14 - not sure of exact date but Yes it updated in December (most likely after the 10th that is the date of the last import QIF file that worked.
Source was Fidelity Investment

These two transactions went in as Stock splits (there were a total of 10 Dividend records in the QIF file)

I see exactly the same issue in my latest Quicken Windows subscription. Have this problem been resolved?

version R32.12 build 27.1.32.12 - occurs when entering a transaction manually

@BobCarl

Earlier you were talking about importing from a QIF file.

When entering a dividend manually, do you click on Enter Transactions and pick Inc - Income as the transaction type? 

Using Div - stock dividend, which is for dividends paid in shares, will generate a split.

I would try this in a new data file, I think there is some kind of corruption going on.  Validate & Repair might help.

Let me start by say that the QIF transactions aren't coded as dividends, they are coded as a buys.
The lines starting with N is the "action".

The line starting with M, is for a memo.
MDividends

In my data file your first QIF transaction gives this transaction in Quicken.
