The amount on automated recurring gifts can not be amended. Our donors often increase or decrease their amounts and having to close the original gift and then re-enter can be difficult especially since we then have to get the payment information from the donor. Would prefer to be able to amend the gift in RE just like we do manual recurring gifts.
Moving this over to the RE NXT idea bank. I believe is was posted in the RE7 idea bank by mistake.
The good news is that this capability is in development currently and should be released fairly soon. Thanks for taking the time to log it as an idea and making the request so clear!
