BYDDF – “Stock Splits May Be Missing”. Anyone Still Seeing This?

I previously posted several detailed conversations about the BYDDF / BYDDY “Stock Splits May Be Missing” error (all were closed). I've included a link to the most recent thread.

I reported the error to Quicken elevated support 8 months ago (CTP-9154). It’s a known issue, but there’s still no fix date and no new updates.

I’m still getting the BYDDF “Stock Splits May Be Missing” message after every One Step Update with a phantom 6:1 split showing as the missing split. (That "missing" transaction is not a stock split, its a share dividend, and it does not belong to clas BYDDF. It is a share dividend for BYDDY).

• Is anyone else still seeing this error?

• Has it stopped for anyone recently?

• Has anyone found a workaround beyond clearing the alert?

    Hello @TexMike,

    Thank you for reaching out! I'm not seeing any new updates on the ticket for the issue yet.

    There aren't any good workarounds that I'm aware of. The best I've been able to find is backup your file, accept the change, then edit as appropriate, as described in this earlier post:

    I hope this helps!

    I am not clear on what you are saying there, but a 'share dividend' - meaning the company distributes shares rather than a cash dividend - is treated as a stock split in Quicken and in real life (I believe). Your basis does not change either in total or for each lot.
