runMkvPropEdit flow modifies original file #973

Hello, I have the runMkvPropEdit plugin at the beginning of my flow,
it always updates the _STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC tag, which is not ideal,
but the issue is that it modifies the original file, not the cached file.

I can manually check it, after running transcoding job, and pulling the original file it has the updated tag.
I can't see it in the job logs. File version 1 shows original unmodified file(with old date), and File version 2(which is after mkvpropedit and other steps) already shows the cached file.

It's a real issue because other services see it as file modification which invalidates other data like trickplay or subs.

Can we copy the file to cache before running the runMkvPropEdit?

PS: I'm not talking about the option from settings Run mkvpropedit on files before running plugins I have it intentionally disabled
