But in the Basic Ledger case, one can't even see the Action field.  And in
any way of interacting with Splits, one does.

If the Basic ledger did have an Action field, using it should probably set
the Action field on all the Splits that it's hiding.

Set "Cheque" on both splits.

As someone who never uses the Action field, what's the actual use case for
this?  Why do you want to know this?
