Exactly what happens after you click the add button?

Jimmy,  Are you using the Price Database editor?  That doesn't even know whether you own shares.

I use F:Q 1.49 and GNC 2.6.12 running on Ubuntu 16.04 . I upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 in August 2019 , During the upgrade I removed the existing GNC 2.6.12 ( from Ubuntu 14.04 ) using the Ubuntu Software Centre and installed GNC 2.6.12 ( from Ubuntu 16.04 )  using the Ubuntu Software Centre.


In both 14.04 and 16.04 I successfully used F:Q to upload prices for all of my securities which I had set “ Get online quotes” and most of currencies which I had set “ Get online quotes” most of the time .


Up to early 2019 I was able to manually input back dated prices for both securities and currencies

eg input a 31 Dec 19 price in Mar 2020.


Now I am not able to do this . I do not know the exact date of the change.


I find that for securities I can only input a backdated price if there are no holdings in the security.


For currencies I can input a backdated price for some currencies but not others I cannot.


Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
