FTSE 350 data feed
calculating DRIP/SCRIP dividends using the FTSE data feed does not automatically calculate the amount of shares purchased from each dividend. You therefore have to calculate this manually and then update each dividend with the new number of shares. Additionally, once you have calculated the number of shares and detailed them in the data feed, and posted the dividends, if you go back into the data feed to update/post anything else, the shareholding amounts reset to their original values.
It would be helpful if the data feed tracked DRIP and SCRIP dividends so that we did not have to calculate them manually.
