having:
Description of Issue
I have some minute-level CSV data I'd like to import into zipline as a data bundle. The prices in each row are unadjusted for dividends and splits. I'm looking for some guidance on how to properly set the values in the dividend and split columns. For instance, if a dividend has a date of 3/1/19 for $0.29, would I simply put 0.29 for the first minute of that day?
And how would I set the split value? Let's say a stock has a date of 3/1/19 for a 2-for-1 split (two shares given for each share owned), is this the proper way to convey that?
Dear Zipline Maintainers,

Anything else?
Additionally, on which "date" of the dividend/split should the values be set? The payable date, "ex" date, or record date?
Sincerely,
