How to edit and post 'duplicate' customer invoice?

[Fran_3]

 Running v2.6.19 on Windows 10 PC
When I duplicate an A/R or Sales Transaction there is no option to "Post"
Search -> is Posted -> untick
returns nothing
using an experimentl gnuCash file I created another "duplicate" of an A/R transaction and did not click on the"?" and then attempted various
Business -> Customer -> Find Invoice
searches... some using the regex dot/wildcard operator ... searching for ID and by Company Name...
Still, the "duplicated" A/R Sales transaction only appears in those two registers and can not be found using any search technique I can find... It is as if the record does not exist...
We really would like to use the "Duplicate" A/R Transaction and/or Sales Transaction but if we can't post, edit, or find the duplicated entry then we will have to continue manually entering each transaction from scratch.
Thanks for any additional help as we were really depending on using gnuCash.
Thanks,
Fran3

Hi Fran,

Did you post the duplicated invoice first time around?

I find that the Search -> Is Posted ->  unticked (or set "not true" depending 
on the GC version) is often useful...

You may have shot yourself in the foot when you clicked on the ?  If you 
click it again does it go back from I to ?  ?

HTH,
Maf.
