Importing Quicken 2007 for Mac file skips all non-numeric check ids

I thought I'd give Quicken 2019+ a spin because Quicken 2007 is 32-bit and hence will be made obsolete with macOS 10.15.

In my Quicken 2007 file, I used check numbers like e1010 when I used the epay service from my credit union, and matched the numbers to the transaction numbers they gave. Upon importing to Quicken 2019 (aka 'Subscription') for the Mac, I found only the numeric physical check numbers. All the nice e1010 numbers vanished.

I noticed that I can, however, still enter numbers such as e1010 as a new check number.

Is there some way I can get Quicken 2019 to correctly import the non-numeric check 'numbers' properly, since they appear to still be accepted by the database (meaning: there is no limitation that check numbers be numeric)?

I realize I can do something tedious like try to replace 'e' with '9999', but I cannot do this quickly, because EFT and DEP both contain 'E', and the search-replace is not case sensitive.

Any hints would be appreciated, as would a fix to the importing mechanism.

Check to see if Quicken 2019 placed these alphabetic values into the "Action" column instead. "Action" is an optional column which is hidden by default. Click the Columns icon on the bottom toolbar, and click the checkbox for Action. do your missing entries show up in that column?

Ah, yes, indeed. The e1010-style check numbers are in the action field.
Thanks.
