General questions about using Fund Manager that do not fit into any other forum.

What would be the best way to test some "what if" scenarios? For example, if I had not sold XYZ in 2018, what would have been the performance of the portfolio.
I tried copying the portfolio, but that did not seem to give me an independent copy. That is, when I deleted the sale from the copied portfolio, it deleted it from the original portfolio as well.

Hi stevetone,
If you just wanted to do something very temporary you could make some changes, and then exit without saving. Turn off the automatic save options under the top level "Options" menu first.
For a more permanent option, use "File / File Operations / Create New Investment from Existing...". This allows you to create a new independent investment where you can make changes without affecting the original.

That was a fast response! Thank you.
I'll try that.
Along those lines, if I delete a historical redemption, do I also have to manually delete the transaction from the "cash" account that originally received the funds?

Hi stevetone,
If you delete the redemption while the default cash account is still assigned, it will also delete the deposit into cash.

Mark, one thing I've always thought would be helpful is an Undelete or Undo command. It would work similarly to the Undo function within, say, Excel where the previous command is undo.
This would allow testing of certain transaction and their effects on the portfolio. Just a thought...

Hi aviator,
Okay, thanks for the feedback/idea. I can see that being helpful.
