I'm the one who didn't quite ignore you first posting, and unfortunately
I don't/can't use OFX, so am unable to help you there.

As it happens, I've been working on and off on the investment UI for a
little while now, trying to remove clutter and generally tidy it up.
One of the points I've had to consider, is this question of what
transaction types should have what fields.  Are you saying you have
fees applied to dividend payments, and that you need this capability?

If so, let me know straight away as I am on the verge of completing my
work.

I would avoid using SourceForge.  Use the KDE bug tracker.  Had you
raised a bug there initially, it would not have got burried in a busy
mail list.

That's not the case and not the way it's supposed to work.  If you
develop fixes or features, I think under the license, you should offer
them back to the project.  As has been said by others, the developers
cannot work full-time here, and there is always a welcome for
additional help.  This is a worker's co-operative!

Yes, I know it can be frustrating, but the support here is in general,
excellent.
