[Kmymoney-devel] Blank payee

[Jack]

SQL would certainly work, but probably more effort then directly  
editing the file, as I'd have to save to database, figure out the SQL I  
need, then save back to file.

Question: as investment transactions normally don't have a Payee  
specified, might it be considered a bug that the import created one?
