Description Ian Neal 2019-02-03 10:17:41 UTC
SUMMARY
When you add a new investment to an investment account there is no way of setting / changing the start date of that investment, it gets created with today's date. You have to wait until you buy some of that investment and run the consistency check to correct the issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an investment account and add an investment
2. Buy some that investment with a date before today's date
3. Run the consistency check or try to make any changes in the brokerage account

OBSERVED RESULT
Consistency check flags that the investment date is before the start date and corrects it.
You are unable to edit the investment in the brokerage account until the consistency check is carried out.

EXPECTED RESULT
The investment wizard lets you set the start date of the investment when creating / editing the investment (though would default to today's date).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Do not allow to enter transactions prior to account opening date

The transaction editor in the standard account ledger does not allow to
enter transactions that reference accounts that have an opening date
later than the transaction date.

The investment transaction editor is missing this feature and one could
enter transactions with a date prior to the opening date of the
investment or asset account referenced in the transaction.

Moreover, the opening date of an invest account cannot be changed by the
user but got updated to a matching value when the consistency check was
run (e.g. as part of file save). The user was informed and was
surprised.

This change adds an automatic update of the opening date for the invest
account if needed when the transaction is entered. Also, it does not
allow to enter the transaction, colorizes the date and presents a
tooltip on the date widget just like for the standard transaction
editor.
