Add ability to convert gift to split transaction

With donor cover specifically, but also would work for other gifts, add the ability to convert an online gift transaction to a split transaction, so that we don't lose the credit card information on the journal transaction. It's been suggested by Geoff to add a separate split transaction when a gift comes in via our website, and then delete the original transaction, but then we lose the credit card information!

    Another year of begging for this functionality. We just ran an event, $125k raised, plus fees on top, all done via a DIY form. I had to export all of the campaign's data, duplicate the account information to create a second line for fees covered for each transaction, then go through and adjust all of the transaction totals and label with the correct campaign, to then import everything as two separate transactions, since I can't import split transactions. Before I imported everything, I had to change all of the original transactions to a different campaign so that they didn't get double counted, and now I'm running a report and manually deleting 749 transactions because they are duplicate information and I can't mass delete. And I'm losing my payment processing and donor covered fees flags. If not this, then please add the ability to split a transaction after it's been entered!

    I'm wondering if there has been any more consideration of this idea. We are about to launch a $125,000 fundraiser which will run over a 2 week period, and we expect 75% of our 750 donors to cover fees. For each transaction with fees covered, I need to go in, screenshot the data, enter a new split transaction, and then delete the transaction so that we are tracking our fundraiser accurately. That's more than 560 transactions I need to alter, and we lose online processing and donor cover flags in the process. Obviously this won't be in place for this year's fundraiser, but I deal with this throughout the year.

    We also lose creation date/time when adding in separate transactions to split out fees covered.
