Soft Credits-multiple assignment
March 05, 2009, 08:30:16 am
I notice in the help documentation the statement "it is often useful to record a Soft Credit for the other family member(s)." That would imply that you can assign soft credit to more than one individual. Is that a yet-to-be implemented feature or is there some setting that I'm missing?

I would like to make the contribution for a household, but give soft credit to all members of the household (much like membership inheritance).

Thank you.

This is already implemented, (Soft Credit To)

No, currently you can choose single contact, so even if you select household, it won't give credit to all members.

Note that the schema was designed for the possibility of supporting multiple assignments and "splits" - since civicrm_contribution_soft contains an "amount" column, and there could be multiple contribution_soft records keyed to the same contribution record. If this additional functionality is critical to you - you might consider spec'ing out what you need, getting feedback and sponsoring or developing an enhancement for 2.3.

Thanks Dave,

I'll speak with my client and see if they feel it's critical enough to make an investment.
