--- Comment #12 from Jeff Thurgood <jeff.thurgood at gmail.com> ---
Having been through all the above, I wondered if I could circumvent the issue
altogether by performing a global edit on the OFX file before I imported it,
changing all occurrences of “NAME” to “PAYEEID”.  I tried it but to no avail,
new transactions were still added as “Cash Withdrawal”.

At this point I decided it was time to do some proper testing.  I created four
OFX files as follows:

1. OFX Version 1 using “NAME”
2. OFX Version 1 using “PAYEEID” (I know PAYEID is not a valid version 1 tag,
but I tried it anyway)
3. OFX Version 2 using “NAME”
4. OFX Version 2 using “PAYEEID”

I imported each one in turn into an empty (i.e. freshly created) kmymoney file,
first using my Debian/testing version (4.6.6) and then using the Windows
version (4.6.4).

In every case the transaction was added with the correct payee name; yet when I
import similar files into my main kmymoney file “Cash Withdrawal” appears every
time.

I decided that there must be an issue with my file, so after some investigation
I discovered that  there was a payee set up called “Cash Withdrawal” that had
“matching enabled” set up to match against the list of names below, only the
list was empty!  The net result was that every imported transaction that was to
be added found this as a match.  I changed the payee to “match on payee name”
and everything now works as I want it to.

So from my perspective this fix is no longer required.  Sorry if I have caused
any trouble and thank you for all the help you have given.
