Lot matching
Having made sales of securities with lot matching selected, the capital gains report does not include them unless they have been allocated to original purchases. I recall that previous reports would show them with zero cost which highlighted them for attention. Now I can't easily see which securities require me to allocate sales to purchases. Is there a report to help with this? I am on the latest version of MD.
PS: I am just running a test and find that although I am allocating the precise number of shares to an original purchase the screen is re-setting to blank and requiring input again and again with no effect

What version of MD?
Out of interest. Try this. Launch help/show console.
Then run CG report again.

2024.4(5253) - having checked I am apparently up to date
I'll try your suggestion once I enter some new sales data

UPDATE - I just recorded a couple of new sales, opened the console window, then ran the realised capital gains report - the new sales were missing - I went back to the register and matched the lots - then they showed up in the report - the problem could be averted I guess by having the lot matching window pop up whenever a sale is made.
