[GNC] "no linked account" during transaction import

Hello. Newbie here.  I'm attempting to "Import Transactions from CSV"

Transactions are formatted as, for example:
Account             Date      Description    Amount
Expenses:Auto:Gas   1/1/2019  Shell Service  70
Expenses:Clothes    1/1/2019  Ann Taylor     50
Expenses:Internet   1/1/2019  Comcast        50
Expenses:Dining     1/1/2019  McDonald's     4.50

At "Import Preview" I map the Transaction.CSV" column names to GnuCash
field names directly (name = name) except "Amount" maps to "Withdrawal".

At "Match Import and GnuCash accounts" I receive "No Linked Account" for
all transactions.

I would have thought(?) that the Transactions.CSV "Account" name
corresponding exactly to the GnuCast account name would have auto-matched.
Am I wrong about that?

How do I avoid having to manually make a mapping for each and every
transaction?

Thanks!
Doug Pearson
