When stock buy/sell transactions are downloaded from Schwab, the stock price isn't correct.
It'll either be blank or $100. I want the price to be the actual price at the transaction so that I can figure out stuff like income and cost basis. I'd rather not enter these prices myself. I have the extension that downloads stock prices and currency rates, so I would like it to use that automatically. Is there a way to do that? Alternatively, why isn't it getting the price at the transaction from Schwab?

I am not certain I understand what you are describing.
Are you saying that you are downloading transactions from Schwab and on those downloaded transactions that a buy or sell the price is not correct? Or are you saying that when you manually enter a new buy or sell transaction you want Moneydance to automatically fill in the price field for you?

When the transactions are downloaded from Scwhab, they come in with a price
of $100. (i.e. not the manual entry, the download)
Either way, I have the stock price extension installed, so that's a second
source for the prices, I guess. Not sure where the $100 is from, but I
would prefer the actual buy/sell price.

In your investment register, select one of the transactions, right click on it, select show transaction details, copy and past the results in a word app and please attach it to this thread..

Can you give me the details of this transaction? Looking at the transaction details it identifies this transaction as a transfer. There was no security price in the transaction details. The $100 was set as a placeholder value and should not have been included i either the price history or investment value metrics attached to this security.
Was this a stock transfer, employer contribution to 401k, ect? If you can give me the details of the origin of the transaction I can better diagnose the issue and help the developers fix the code to better interpret the download.

It was a stock transfer from my employer as part of an employee stock plan.

When you download transactions, what you are receiving are the brokers own accounting. Because this was a stock transfer and not a purchases the share price and average cost on the transaction details are "0".
I can not advise of tax issues. Your HR department should be able to advise on the cost basis you should assign to this this transfer.
As for the Moneydance transaction, in the investment account you should do a buyxfer and the transfer category should be one called employer stock grant. To make this category please go to .tools > categories. Click new and toggle income. Select salary as the parent category and name it employer stock grant (or whatever you deem relevant)
