Unfortunately, those are two different fields with the same name. They aren’t tied to each other at all.
The Action field of a split does get filled with “payment” when you assign a payment to a bill/invoice, however. You can edit this if you want after the transaction is created. I haven’t seen that it messes with the payment link in any way. As far as I know, there is no built-in way to report on line items in bills or invoices. But if you choose *not* to consolidate splits when posting, you might get close. The Action field from the bill/invoice still won’t populate the Action field of the register transaction though. I’ve yet to see a purpose or use case for the Action column on a bill. I use it to denote ‘Hours’, ‘Project’ or ‘Materials’ on invoices to customers. Though that’s just for my customer’s information. I can’t see anyway to run any kind of report to see how many hours I billed last month for example. I have to track that outside of GnuCash.
