Add ability to hide currently unused securities in Quicken for Mac (64 Legacy Votes)

Within QM2020, I presently have about 160 securities listed, but only about 20 of them are still actively held. In QM2007, we had the ability to hide securities in the securities list such that they would no longer show and the price history was not updated. Can we make that change in QM2020? It would sure make it easier to find the securities that I currently have holdings in.

You have Buys, Sells, Dividends or/or other transactions for these securities recorded in your registers. As long as thise transactions exist somewhere in your data file, QMac considers the security "in use".
The only way one can delete a previously used security is to first delete any and all transactions related to that security. This of course would totally srew up the register (and your history) and is not the recommended way to go.
FWIW QWin products have the same behavior.
Bottom line - we do need the ability to hide old securities in the Security List. Also need an easier way to turn downloading on/off - like in QWin where there is a check box in the list along side each security.

I just wanted to add a small update to this idea.
In the 2019 5.9.2 for Mac, the option to Download Quotes Only for Indexes and Securities Held.
This can be found under Window > Securities.
