Adding the ability to link an event directly to a gift within the gift record would streamline a currently complex and time-consuming process. Right now, users must navigate through multiple layers—Events, Overview, Participants, Fees and Payments—just to associate a gift with an event. Implementing this feature would save time, reduce user frustration, and improve data accuracy by minimizing the risk of errors during manual linking. It would make the system more intuitive and efficient, especially for users managing high volumes of gifts and events.
Also helpful, if the linked gift was in payment for an event registration or fee, would be if the linked gift could be tied directly to an event fee (as opposed just to the event/participant), so that the receipted amount would not have to be manually corrected to match the receipt amount associated with the fee.
It would also be good if we can link the gift to the event when while adding the gift instead of opening the gift record to link it.
