Hi, wondering how I might add a share that was awarded by my employer - as the “buy” price is $0, but still want to reflect the current value

You can just add a buy with price 0 - it’s current value will be priced accordingly. Your rate of return will go crazy at the beginning though, depending on how much of your portfolio you’re looking at.

Another way is to add a Transfer transaction, which assumes the opening day’s market price as the cost.
