Interjecting here ... While I am on older version (4.14), I recall that whenever I needed to make any minor change to an existing entry, I had to type in the same information again in the stock split entry (almost like I was creating brand new entry or at least make GNC think that I *refreshed* each and every input field) in order for it *not* to go back to what the values were in the column where modification was wanted. Not sure if same thing is happening in the version you are using.
