Roger,
I found it easier to leave all the opening balances at zero while
setting up the chart of accounts (COA). Then I create one massive
opening transaction dated (in your case) 12/31/2019.
That way, if I find I forgot one account, I can add it later then go
back and adjust the opening transaction to include an entry for that new
account (I know the purist will have nightmares and would prefer you add
a new transaction).

Have a closing trial balance @ year end 2019
In the setup screen I don't necessarily have all the accounts, so I imagine
I can set them up later, but some accounts that area available do not let
me put in an opening balance.
E.g. "retained earnings" has a balance, but in the set up screen there is a
greyed out "zero" and I cannot set up the opening balance. Can I edit that
later?
I tried this before, but was never able to figure it out.
