[GNC] Import overwrites transaction description

Example:
I have previously entered a check into gnucash:
Num=205, Description=Smith Plumbing, Withdrawal=100.00

My bank's OFX  transaction has:
<STMTTRN>
   <TRNTYPE>CHECK
   <TRNAMT>-100.00
   <CHECKNUM>205
   <NAME>CHECK # 205
</STMTTRN>

When I import the OFX file and and match its transaction with the previously entered check transaction the "Smith Plumbing" gets overwritten with "CHECK # 205".

Is there a way to preserve the "Smith Plumbing" and not have it overwritten?  (It is a pain to go back and reenter the payee's name on each check).

TIA
