If you have an automated way to do this, it would be a great thing to do.
It seems that such a thing might also let one move 1 year's worth of history
to a new database... I'm mostly concerned about various auxiliary tables
being wrong. (Like why I have only Employee Contacts...?)

I'm at 1.4.12.

yes, the whole set of services and parts is valuable, and why I usually
copy-as-new.

Several buttons... even better would be that I could set for a given
transaction what the primary button is, and have that also "copied"...

Thank you so much for this, because it will mean that the rest of us can help
out more. I'm quite willing to put in several days/year towards this, but
my problem is that I have to be actually running the latest version...

I'm thinking that we want to have a way to fix it right on the reconciliation
page. Of course, it should create a new transaction.. but how many times do
I get it wrong, and then have to reverse it twice...

I haven't tried 1.5 yet. I will upgrade to 1.4.23, and then to 1.5/git in a new
VM. I'm gonna have to go through Jan2015 books with the idea that I might
have to throw it away and do it again... which is hard to do.
