: : Mark, there's a feature I requested in version 5 which you said you would implement, but I think you forgot (at least up until v. 7; I haven't downloaded the v. 8 beta yet). In the distribution dialog, the distribution type seems always to default to "dividend". IMHO, it would be more convenient either if investments of the "Bond" type defaulted to "interest", or if all investments simply defaulted to that investment's last-used distribution type.

: : Thanks.

: Hi David,

: I hope I didn't promise you this in any particular version, I try not to do that... I agree it would be better to default to different distribution types, depending on the investment type. I'll try to get this in v8, but I can't promise. It isn't in there now.

: Thanks,

Hi David,

This feature has now been added. It isn't in the "Beta 1", but will be in the next release. The default distribution type is set based on the investment's type. It is "dividend" for most investment types, but for Bonds/Cash/T-bills/Annuity it will be "interest income".

Thanks,
Mark
