Add "soft credit for spouse's gifts" to NXT
Merged
The option to soft credit an individual for all of their spouse's past gifts in one go is absolutely necessary, especially when a constituent becomes deceased and the surviving spouse's record is converted to a cosntituent.

Currently, organizations can update historical spouse soft credits through Database View. As Blackbaud continues moving functionality to RE NXT, the loss of this capability creates a significant gap. Without a way to retroactively apply spouse soft credits in RE NXT, gift management teams must either export and import this data or manually update each gift record, making it difficult to maintain accurate and up-to-date giving histories.
Providing a way to apply spouse soft credits to historical gifts would improve data integrity, reduce administrative effort, and ensure organizations can fully manage household giving records within RE NXT.
Yes!! I need this function without a doubt to maintain accurate donor records
this is extremely important to maintain efficiency and accuracy in the database when linking spouses

This is critical in terms of efficiency for staff and for accurate donor recognition levels.
This would be so useful - we are working through the process of merging duplicate records from a database that was added to ours and this would make it easier to make sure that spouses are appropriately soft credited.
