This is a good simplifying suggestion, assuming:

1. The use of the Action field the way I intend doesn't interfere with
any other use of it within Gnucash (to respond to your question, I'm
not using it for anything else myself).
2. It doesn't create confusion in the GUI for users.

I'll investigate these items and, if they prove to be OK, take that
route instead.

By the way - does anyone know of any logic in Gnucash that relies on
the Action field?

Thanks,

Alex
