Mutual fund share class and mutual fund to ETF conversions on Mac Classic Deluxe

I've seen multiple discussions on this and want to share a successful workaround I've used several times.

Enter the conversion as a stock split, using the number of new shares and old shares. This will adjust all the historic and current share numbers and prices to match the new fund.

Then go to the Securities list, and Merge the two classes into the new one. It will assign the new name/class to the old transactions but the cost basis and history will be correct. Just write a note in the Stock split transaction so you will always know the date it changed.

    Just one weird thing that popped up that did not happen in the past: the current holdings, lots, historical prices, and current unrealized gain/loss are all correct. But generating a report to include unrealized gains is not right - it shows a loss based on pre-split prices. I fixed this by backdating the split to the first date on which I acquired the original holding. Now everything including reports is correct again.

    Crazy, but life with Quicken for Mac requires workarounds 🤷‍♂️
