Mint Duplicate Transaction Fixer

dupefixer.js

/*
 * This script is meant to be copy/pasted in to the Chrome javascript console while logged in to Mint.
 * It can be used to find all of the transactions that you have checked "This is a duplicate" for.
 * Once all of these transactions are found, you can then have the script add a 'Duplicate' tag to 
 * each of the transactions.
 *
 * This will then allow you to filter out duplicate transactions after exporting them to CSV as tags are included.
 *
 * You may need to replace the value of the duplicateTagId variable after this comment. 
 * To find the Duplicate tag id, edit a transaction and view the list of tags.
 * If Duplicate is an available tag, inspect the element and look for <input name="tag1178526" type="hidden">.
 * The number is the tag id.
 * If the Duplicate tag is not available, select Edit Tags and add it. Then inspect it to find its id.
 */

 * Handles adding the duplicate tag to the transaction. It should also preserve the transaction being marked as a duplicate.
 * This method is probably the most likely to mess something up so execute with caution
