            Bug ID: 358129
           Summary: Changing dividend transaction to reinvested dividend
                    transaction after import of QIF/QFX file on online
                    banking update.
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: 4.7.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org

I have used the import and online banking updates for my investment
accounts.  There is a problem with the cash sweep/money market and other
transactions that are imported as a Dividend activity.

A dividend requires a brokerage  account, a reinvested dividend does
not.  I try and change the dividend to a reinvestment which causes the
transaction to be flagged error needing an account.  It seems that logic
does not delete the account field for the dividend transaction during
the update, even if I delete from the gui.

The only way I can get this in the system is to manually enter the
transaction adn delete the imported one.  I am glad to work with the
team on this.

As suggested by AGA, I entered a manual test dividend transaction.  I then
edited to a reinvested dividend transaction, updating the required fields. 
This worked as expected with no errors like the one  mentioned above.  To close
the test, I edited the transaction back to a dividend transactions.  This also
completed with no issues.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import a QIF or OFX either as a local file or using the online banking OFX
update with a divided transaction in it.
2. Try and update the dividend transaction to a reinvested dividend tranaction
type, updating the required fields
3.  The edited transaction will flag an error.

Actual Results:  
There is no way to clear the account field that the dividend transaction type
requires, but is not required by the reinvested dividend transaction type.

Expected Results:  
The account field that the dividend transaction type requires will be cleared
or deleted..
