I was updating my investment 401K accounts for year end to file
taxes and noticed that for BUY Shares, only the Fee category line
appears now appears in the transaction entry area. Previously, and
I am not sure in what version, the Interest Category line was
present in the input area as well.<br>
<br>
This is important because I work for a company that allows me to buy
stock each quarter at a discount / subsidy. This is income to me on
my W2. The Fee category does not accept an income category in the
line item, even when you split the line. All of my previously
entered purchases with the discount now have the interest line
hidden. I have to switch the transaction type to see the hidden
line.<br>
<br>
Why does this matter? As I stated the discount is income and I
believe should appear in the income section of income and cash flow
statements. Allocating this to an expense category that is a credit
(negative for income) instead of debit does track the dollars, but
not correctly. I have to explain it to may accountant every year or
do a journal entry to move the balance to the correct account which
should not be required. Either way, it is a hassle.<br>
<br>
Can we get the interest category added back to the investment entry
screen?<br>
<br>
This may be related to BUG:322768 - Interest category and amount
disappear when new fee entered in Dividend. Also, fixes for
KEditWidget visibility issues. I believe that widget visibility
should be at the lowest common denominator. That is if there is any
question, show it and let the user choose to enter a value, even if
the programmer does not agree.<br>

Thank you<br>
