Hi - on many of our sites we end up running lots of 'test' contributions through the system to confirm Receipts etc.

I have taken to setting up a Test Contribution Type so these can then be easily grabbed and removed - or at least excluded from Reports etc.

Just wondering if anyone thinks that would be a good addition as a Contribution Type in to the core code.

so maybe i am overlooking something simple - if i want to do an offline contrib and flag it as test how am i to approach that - or should i be asking for a 'is test' checkbox in some screens?

okay - glad i haven't been operating totally blind - can i put it up as a feature request - since the col is there would be great to have wider use of it - i guess the ideal would be a 'global settings' for 'show test option' - maybe?

thanks Dave - i am not really focussing on test credit card payments - but any - basically we end up creating lots of test Memberships and test Contributions and Events in all sorts of ways, not for just cc testing.

I am just trying to find a way to do the clean up more easily

Being able to check a box when doing a back end 'anything' to flag as a 'test' so they can just be dumped later on would be cool.
