[GNC] Can't import .qif files from quicken since latest update

I've tried several different methods to export a .qif file from quicken and
import it into GnuCash.

The process of importing the file goes fine until I reach the part where
the actual import occurs. Then I get this type of message:

"Missing QIF investment action for transaction dated 08/31/2023."

Upon investigation, it would seem that these transactions are from
automated transfers from my bank account to an IRA fund. I believe these
are money transfers, where the money is simply transferred without
explicitly purchasing a security, and then the security is purchased later.

When I opened and examined the .qif file, and did some conversation with
ChatGPT-4, it would seem that I would have to put a line such as
"N***XIn***" for each of the offending transactions. I did try that, and
GnuCash still didn't accept those transactions (that I could see).

Is anyone familiar with this problem already, or have any ideas on how to
solve it?
