1. For books that already contain this kind of pre-5.17 lot, is the duplicate-then-delete procedure the recommended permanent fix, or is it better to stay on 5.16 until a later release handles these existing lots automatically?
Removing such hidden "stock-split" splits from lots is the "permanent fix" I recommend. The duplicate-then-delete procedure is just one way of accomplishing that.
2. Does duplicating and deleting the stock split transaction change the transaction's GUID or break its links to the year-end closing entry and the realised gain/loss entries? I would like to avoid disturbing the audit trail.
Obviously, the new stock split transaction will have a different GUID than the original stock split transaction. Removing the original stock split transaction removes the hidden "stock-split" from the lot but won't break the lot's links to the year-end closing entry and the realised gain/loss entries.
3. Is there any risk of the adjusted amounts being counted twice if the hidden share-adjustment split remains in the lot while the new transaction is also present?
When the original stock split transaction is removed, the hidden "stock-split" split will be removed from the lot.
4. I see the same pattern in four accounts holding the same ETF (mine and three family members'), all recorded with the Stock Split Assistant. Would the procedure need to be repeated lot by lot in each account?
The "procedure" need only be applied to stock split transactions for lots with hidden "stock-split" splits.
