There's not enough information to tell exactly what is
happening; you should be able to add a new security in Quicken
during the entry of a Buy transaction.
But you can approach it slightly differently. Assuming this
security does not already exist in your Quicken file, you can
add it directly in the Security List (Investments > Security
List > New).
Then initiate a Buy transaction in the appropriate Quicken
account and choose the (now existing) security from the Security
Name drop down.
