[Kmymoney-devel] KMyMoney - Prices Table Query

[aga]

In the UK, the government allows a person to open a tax-free shares scheme 
each year,  This is called an ISA (Individual Savings Allowance).  I've bought 
into this scheme, and over the last few years, have, each year invested in the 
same unit trust (mutual).  Initially, I added all purchases into a single 
security, but things started to get complicated when re-invested dividends 
were received, two or three at a time, and there was no way to track what 
should belong to what.

So, I had this bright idea to have each ISA as a separate security within the 
one investment account, and proceeded to split them up.  This had an 
unexpected result, in that the prices table was now showing several entries 
for each date, one per ISA account, with no indication as to which belonged to 
which so no easy way to remove duplicates.  I assumed this happened because of 
the way I had done the splitting up, so decided to remove the duplicates via 
the XML file, and all seemed well.

However, I now realise all is not well, for two reasons.  Firstly, subsequent 
price updates are still being duplicated, one per ISA.  Secondly, investment 
reporting appears to have been affected in that the separate security accounts 
don't seem to be aware of prices that are available in the table for their 
symbol.

I realise that I've probably caused these problems myself in splitting the 
funds, but I have to say I didn't expect that each would need to retain its 
own separate duplicated set of prices, nor that if editing were required, 
there was no way to identify which prices table entry belonged to which 
security.   As they all share the same symbol, should/could not a single price 
be used by all the securities?  Is there any possibility of improvements in 
this area, please?

Thanks
