copying splits from a transaction

[David T.]

I keep track of the many lines of deductions on my and my wife's paychecks, and
the way I do it is to duplicate an earlier (completed) transaction for the new
date in question. It has been my experience that most of the lines on each
paycheck are predominantly the same, so I just need to verify them and only
adjust one or two lines. I do this before importing (as Derek suggests), and it
is very quick to manage.
