CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We are just getting CiviCRM up and running. We entered 100s of contributions and then realized the value of Campaigns. So we are back tracking a bit by going back to edit the contributions and associate them with a campaign we set up. The problems seems to be that it is not updating the activity when we edit the contribution. So when we run the activity report by campaign the contributions will not show up. If we recreate the contribution it works fine and will show up in the activity report.  Maybe someone knows why this is happening. We appreciate any help that would save us from recreating all the contributions. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your quick response. I did check the activities table like you suggested and the campaign id is not updating. The campaign id stays null even after the update. I went on the demo sight and got the same results. If I create a new contribution and assign it to a campaign id and then save, I can go to the Activity Report and filter by that campaign and the contribution activity will show up. If I create a contribution, save it and then go back and edit it by assigning it to a campaign, that activity will not show up in the Activity Report. I am new to CiviCRM (and very appreciative for CiviCRM) and I thought the Activity Report would be where you would see the whole picture of your campaign...all the activities together, but maybe there is something I am not understanding.

Thank you for this information. I entered the campaign id directly into the activities table and that works. I will report the issue as suggested. I would love to see this fixed in the future. When you have multiple people entering data there is always a need to go back and edit. This fix would ensure that the end report is accurate with all details included.

Thanks again...very much appreciated!
