I was raking my brain about this too. Here is what I found out:

In order to see the dividend in both the income statement and the advanced 
portfolio, book an ordinary transactions for incurring dividends (div 
income -> bank, say) and make sure that you have an additional line 
associated to your share account with the single entry 1 in the column 
called something like "price" (sorry I do not know what it is called in the 
English version, since I am working with the German version).

Note that the only way to enter this is in the window showing the 
transactions of your share account. Do not try to enter this transaction in 
window of the dividend income or bank account.

See the file attached with an example on this.

Best wishes,
J.
