Crypto report question

I'm trying to manually report my coinbase pro transaction. I purchased my coin at different times and sold them later. Problem is I can only insert one date of purchase. Is it ok if I can I leave this box blank? What can I do if I have more than one date of purchase?

No, you cannot leave the date blank.  You do have the option of entering "Various".  This will account for multiple purchases.

 

As a caution.  Be sure that all of the transactions are categorized as  short term or long term trades.
