Update Share Balance doesn't work

Yet another issue with Quicken 2019 (Windows). The Update Share Balance function doesn't work. The link Update Share Balance link takes me to the Update Cash Balance Screen. No way to access the update share balance screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.

    Let's go back a couple of steps to get more info.
    What Q product are you running? What BUILD of Quicken?  Do HELP, About Quicken for this info.
    I assume that you're talking about an Investment of some kind. What type? And what security & type of security are you talking about?

    @RonWo you are correct. This is a recent change in Qwin subscription.  Previously the update share balance would add a Placeholder.  Now for new data files it puts in an Added or Removed transaction but for old data files it shows the wrong dialog. 

    I wish they would fix this.

    It occurs when I try to update the share balance in an investment account (i.e. brokerage account). It's not specific to a security since I can't get to the screen to select the security whose balance I want to update.

  • On Sunday (with a current version), I was able to run the Update Share Balance screens (from quarterly 401k statements), but the placeholder transactions that were entered were INCORRECT. Hopefully the known bug encompasses this. I had to put the previous statements into excel and enter the add shares manually with the difference between statements.
