Just upgraded to Moneydance 2015 after waiting for things to settle down on the Mac. When I enter a mutual fund dividend which is not reinvested, I would think no share price should be listed. Instead I see 100 as the share price in the Register. All my old transactions also show a price of 100. How do I get rid of this?

    This is a placeholder value that downloads with the transaction. It does not affect cost basis, or shows in the price history, or affects any of the investment metrics in MD.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, I could see that it had no effect on bases. In MD 2014 didn't that space just stay blank in the register display? It would seem to me that that behavior would be better than displaying an displaying an obviously incorrect value.
    Must add that I've been using MD for many years. Went to it when I gave up on Quicken as they added more and more chart junk to their pages. Now use it on an iMac and love the nice clean displays. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks you for you kind words.

    We do have a bug ticket to get this placeholder value removed from view. I can not offer a timeline of when it will be accomplished.
