I know there have been previous discussions about editing multiple

issue, and my searching has not turned up anything useful.
Scenario: I have several investment transactions in the ledger from
about one year ago. The same actions happened this year, but for
some reason, they are not included in my download from the broker.
I can select them and click "Duplicate" but that puts them to
today's date. I want to move them to a different date. If I select
them all and click "edit" I can set the date, but Enter is still
disabled. If I change anything else to enable "Enter" it changes
fields I do not want to change. For example, they all have
different memos and number of shares, so I want those fields not to
be changed. Should this be possible? Should I just enter a new
wishlist for this? I did look, and didn't see anything relevant.
I've just had a very quick look at this, and I'm not too sure. As
you found, you can edit the date, but to enable Enter, you could
select the security, which I think has to be the same for all
anyway. However, I noticed that that set the quantity and price to
zero, so you have to clear both those fields. If you then click
Enter, it does change the date as required, but then you get a bunch
of currency edit dialogs, so you'd need to be careful what you
accept. I don't know if that should happen.
Fortunately, these are all the same security, but all have different
numbers of shares (these happen to be "remove shares" transactions) and
different memos, so those are the two particular values I don't want to
change. What I don't understand is why Enter is disabled if I only
change the date. I would expect it to be able to set/change the date
in each transaction, but not change any other field.
I don't know how easy it would be to implement, but for any field with
different values across the transactions, I'd love to see it
"highlighted" in some way to indicate that either it will be left
unchanged in all transactions, or changed to whatever you enter for all
the transactions.
