Correct, it is initially set to blank and it sadly does not take any hints from any of those fields at this time. Training the matcher is the only way to populate its heuristics.

My point was more around whether there is a specific field in the GnuCash securities setup which if matched with a specific field in the OFX xml would result in the manual click-based becoming unnecessary? I have dozens of bonds in the portfolio which are painful to manually match. But they all have unique identifiers (CUSIPs and IBKR contract ids) which I wish GnuCash could leverage in the matching stage. As of now it does not seem to attempt any type of best guess when a new security is being imported from the OFX.
