When I'm in a dollar account, the option to select and bulk add transactions is not there.  I can't even add individual transactions unless I first click on the transaction. Otherwise it says 'enter the exchange rate'. But I don't enter the rate - Quickbooks fetches the rate itself.

I have thousands of transactions in US dollars so it's very obviously not practical for me to go into every one, click and then add.  I thought I had found a way around this by creating a rule to auto-add these transactions, but to my horror I find that the exchange rate is now pulled in as 1 GBP to 1 USD for these 'rule' added transactions.

Please tell me there's a way to bulk import these dollar transactions while keeping the exchange rate calculation, and please tell me how to do it. 

Thanks!
