An extra bug is not necessary now.  Perhaps in the future if existing data is
added to the display, then this bug could be closed and a new one opened for
adding items to the data file.
In terms of adding columns to the payee list, real estate is limited, so I
don't think I would want to add more than one, or risk the display being too
crowded.  In that case, I'm not sure that any single additional column would
actually be useful.
On that last point, I think there is an issue of terminology.  A typical
transaction has two splits: one for an account and one for a category.  In that
case, whether the payee is listed on the transaction or on  the category split
or both splits, the amount added to the payee would only be the amount of the
category split.  The sum of both splits is 0, which is a result of the double
entry bookkeeping.  However, if this is a "split transaction" there will be one
split for the money coming out of the account, and two (or more) splits for
different categories.  Since it is now possible to assign a payee to each split
separately, it IS possible to use a different payee for each category.  What is
not clear is the meaning and implication of assigning a payee to both the
transaction and to one or more individual splits.  I'm beginning to think this
should not be allowed, forcing either a payee assigned to the transaction, or
only to one or more of the category splits.  I'll have to think about that some
more, and will probably start a separate discussion regarding what options
would actually make any sense.
