BUG REPORT: Register Export renames Payee column to Description. This is wrong.

This is a DESIGN BUG that forces rework on the user.

This forces extra manual work on the user to have to rename exported "Description" column back to "Payee".

Don't just complain, grumble, accept design bugs or missing requirements. REPORT THEM.

QUICKEN, PLEASE FIX THIS REQUIREMENT OR DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES REWORK.

    Much ado about nothing. Since you're exporting to Excel, it's a 1/2 second fix.

    I wouldn't call it a bug.
    IMHO, it's more like a compromise.
    The same report column is used for multiple different purposes: Payee, Payor, Merchant Name, Customer, Vendor, Asset or Liability Name and others, even Security Name, depending on the type of report.
    Therefore, calling it Description seems to me the best solution.
