Am unable to enter a Return of Capital transaction for a security in my TFSA account

I received notification from my financial advisor of an adjustment to the cost basis for a security held in my TFSA account (Quicken Home & Business 2019 Canadian Version.) However, the system will not let me enter the transaction without affecting the cash balance as the Transfer Account field is greyed out. I know the cost basis is not a critical element for a TFSA account but I like to keep my records complete and accurate and in agreement with my financial institution. Is there a solution?

"Unfortunately, none of the individual dividends I received are equal to or greater than the adjustment amount, therefore I can't apply it to any one dividend payment."I've received Returns of Capital in the past and those are reported on 1099-DIVs in the US, typically received sometime in February. I see no need to attribute the Return of Capital to any particular dividend payment, so I make a 12/31/XX entry recording the Return of Capital and a 12/31/XX entry recording a "negative" dividend. That results in total dividends for the year correctly stated with no cash effect.5
