Capital Gains Calculation Method Persistence

Question

When "Accepting" the very first downloaded "Sell" transaction for a mutual fund, Quicken correctly prompts me to select the capital gains (CG) calculation method as either Average Cost or Specific Lots.  If Average Cost is selected, is there any way to make this selection be persistent in Quicken ?  I checked the mutual fund's details in Tools | Security list and Average Cost is checked but Quicken continues to prompt me to select a CG calculation method when "Accepting" future transactions in the same account for the same mutual fund.  If I have (25) "Sells" I have to select "Average Cost" 25X to "Accept" each transaction and this is annoying.    Using Quicken Deluxe in Windows 10.

Thanks,

I suggest you check the Automatic Assignment instead of prompting on Accept preference for the account on the Lot Assignment Options window:  select Edit > Preferences...

While Use Average Cost is checked, it doesn't matter what the lot assignment is.  Note: The preference applies to the account not the security.

By preference I was referring to Automatic Assignment instead of prompting on Accept preference discussed earlier.
