It would be ideal to keep track of tribute gift info as part of a donor's gift without the tribute name necessarily becoming a constituent. It would be nice if we had the option to click and add a tribute acknowledgement as a constituent, but the automatic creation of constituent records is not useful, particularly because the system's intellect and review/search before adding a duplicate record does not possess the critical thinking of a human. For example, a donor may note a Tribute as William, and another person may note them as Bill. One donor may use ,Sr. and another may exclude that. Each variation of a name gets created as a record. It's a real flaw seemingly with the intent of creating new records so you can be charged for exceeding your cap.
Agreed! Constantly cleaning these up, and it doesn't help the gift does not display tribute info in NXT batch, so not able to address it in the moment.
there are two ideas for the same thing---one has 8 votes and the other has over 100.
Please consolidate these and fix the issue
Would love to be able to do a tribute and NOT have to create a record for a deceased individual. Some folks just want to memorialize a loved one.
This is amazing and honestly we learned this the hard way. This would be a great addition to the tribute module.
