Deleting attachments on Finalized transactions

Deleting attachments on Finalized transactions

Sometimes attachments are added to a transaction and later they are discovered to contain confidential information. In the past we have been unable to delete them, but it now appears that we can do so, but this has not been tested across the various transactions.

Steps
1. Create a modification of the transaction (Version 2)
2. Delete both attachments
3. Validate and Submit
4. Approve the transaction

After performing these steps, the attachments are not in Version 2. Version 1 will still show that attachments are there, but if you try to download them, a message will pop up letting you know that the attachments cannot be located.
