Hello, 

I'm seeking advice from the group about the best way to handle a ticker/name 
change for a held stock. 

For example, Facebook renamed itself Meta a while back, and in June they 
changed their ticker from FB to META. Naturally, I wish the Gnucash books to 
reflect these changes; I also want price retrieval to continue to work. 

The simple approach is to edit the account name and the security info and 
change them to the new name. Facebook, the Gnucash security and the account 
entries, get changed to META. This approach seemingly works fine; the holdings 
change in the CoA and retrieval of prices resumes. 

However, something about this feels incomplete. It feels like some information 
about the holdings gets lost this way. Or am I over thinking this? 

Cheers, 
David T.
