[Feature] Duplicating a reconciled transaction without locking it

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When using the duplicate feature, I think it would be practical to not duplicate the cleared status if the transaction is reconciled and locked. If there is a transaction that was reconciled and is not correct, that transaction needs to be deleted and recreated. It would be a little less inconvenient if we could use the duplicate feature to recreate the transaction without the lock status.

If there is a transaction that was reconciled and is not correct, that transaction needs to be deleted and recreated.

Alternatively (and I know that this is controversial): we just let people to un-lock transactions. Seems like a much simpler solution to the problem.

I'm coming around on this. There isn't much of a difference between invalidating the reconciliation by unlocking a transaction vs invalidating it by deleting a transaction.
