Starting with 3,x if there is an "Edit Payment" that means gnucash believes 
the payment is already related to a vendor/customer/employee in some way 
(either directly linked to an invoice or retained as pre-payment) and using 
this will open the payment dialog with this payment prepopulated so you can 
adjust it (or assign to an invoice).

Assign as payment will only appear if the split on which you click is not 
linked to any invoice or vendor/customer/employee and allows you to use a 
transaction

FYI for any such lots, gnucash knows or at least assumes the splits in these 
lots belong to a certain customer, but not yet to an invoice. If you would 
right-click on such a split directly in the A/R account register you would see 
the "Edit Payment,,," menu option.

FYI if there are splits here, that means there are splits in the A/R register 
for which gnucash believes they are not related to any customer (yet). If you 
would right-click on such a split directly in the A/R account register you 
would see the "Assign as payment..." menu option.
