How can I assign "DIV" transactions to a category in an Investment account?

When any transaction is marked as DIV, the only options for the category are Transfers. I would expect that I could assign the DIV income to a category such as Dividends.

It could be my imagination, but I think it allowed me to do this before I upgraded to version 16.2.2

    You are right, that is a new bug that just started in 16.2.2 and there is no way around it.  We need to report that to Q.  I will try.  Please try also.

    FYI, I restored the 16.2.0 version, and my data as well, and there is absolutely no problem now with categories for Dividends, so it is definitely seriously flawed software that I am surprised made it past any QA (if there was any.)

    Good job discovering this problem with 16.2.2.  I hadn't noticed it before but you are correct;  previously I could use categories in DIV transactions, but not now.  It looks like other investment transactions types also have the same problem; such as II (Interest Income).

    Unfortunately, I was gaining confidence in them, and didm/t keep a copy of 16.2.0.  Guess I'll just wait it out.  It'll be interesting to see what happens when I download a DIV transaction. I'll take one thing at a time though and wait for my month end process before I try that.  So much for the confidence.

    Woohoo!!  Never mind. I just found a copy of 16.2.0 out on Time Machine.  Thank you Apple.

    Hope you also have a backup version of the Quicken data on Time machine also, otherwise, I think all your II or DIV data will be missing their categories... I restored both the data and the old version, and everything is as good as it was before. Good luck.
