Does adding shares generate a basis?

Buy and Sell uses the cash in the account and sets the basis

Add/Remove ignores the cash in the account. To generate a basis, the add transaction has fields for entering the basis

Transfer is to move the shares to a different account and it does preserve the basis

Does basis field in add transaction allow for time of actual purchase as well as price?

There is a separate field for acquisition date (not time of day).

We were responding at the same time. My post was 1 minute after yours. So I was not trying to ‘correct’ your post.
