Consider expanding duplicate detection
I import transactions from both a checking account and a credit card. When I pay the credit card from the checking account, the transaction is imported twice, once for each account:
2017/12/04 ACH WEBSINGLE XXXXX1234 BARCLAYCARD US CREDITCARD
Assets:Checking:PNC -1,234.56 USD
Liabilities:Credit Cards:Barclaycard 1,234.56 USD ;
2017/12/02 Payment Received
Liabilities:Credit Cards:Barclaycard 1,234.56 USD
Assets:Checking:PNC -1,234.56 USD ;
I'm unsure if this is best handled through some accounting practice I'm unaware of, or if we might adjust duplicate detection to catch this case.
It occurs to me that duplicate detection may already have much of the functionality I'm looking for, but I might be missing it, because the potential duplicate display may be broken:
------------------- | ------------------------- | ------

Counterparty Status | Verified |
Currency | USD |

formatName | paypal |
formatVersion | 2017-US |
Most of the fields in the second transaction are blank. I realize this is probably because they come from different imports and have different source fields, but I'd think the date would line up.
I'll try to look through the duplicate detection code to understand better what's going on.
