As documented here:
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kmymoney/kmymoney/details.impexp.html#idm3078
under "Payees"
> Payee names are generated by the importer from the GnuCash transaction's Description field.

I understand the feature request to be: have an option in the import dialog to
not use the GnuCash description field as payee, but rather either leave payee
blank if possible or generate payee from the account name. I'm not sure why you
would want the payee to be generated from the account name.

In my own GnuCash file, I started out putting a description of what the
transaction was for in the description field and the payee name in either memo
or notes, I forget what it's called. After I found out about KMyMoney and read
how it treated the description as payee, I switched how I entered them. Now my
GnuCash file has some payees in the memo field and some in description, so I
don't know of a way to cleanly import that. I'll probably either edit it
manually sometime or just not bother.

Is the payee field required? Since GnuCash doesn't enforce using the
description field as payee, I could see value in having an option to put the
GnuCash description in a line in KMyMoney's memo field and leaving payee blank
or putting some placeholder in. If I have time, I might look into that, but my
time is a finite resource.
