[GNC] Transactions Buy/Sell

I run GnuCash using a MySQL DB backend.

According to the schema docs, the "action" (Buy/Sell) in splits for
stocks/ETFs/funds should always include a "Buy" or "Sell" value. I noticed
that in my database, there are many transactions with that field empty. I'm
confused as to how this impacts other reports. In the DB, the price and
quantity are unchanged, so this value is needed to build a portfolio view.

Interestingly, if I quickly edit and re-save the transaction, it often
fills that value.

Should I fill out a bug, or has this a known behavior?

Tks
