Ability to export the ID, name amount for soft credit recipient(s)

According to this blog post from April 2026, it sounds like Blackbaud intends to only include a soft credit flag in the "re-imagined Export" and not the ability to export the ID, name or amount for soft credit recipients.

I have relied on this for many reporting and data audit processes, and feel it would be a step backward if this was removed.

    I think perhaps that was a misunderstanding on my part when someone asked about that. We're also including the soft credit node for gifts and various fields within it. I've moved this to shipped because it's in Query today, and will also be in Export when we release.

    We use various soft credit fields info for quicker identification of specific families (which Smith family?), different last-named spouses, adult children (eg. family gift), company or foundation relationships (especially where the org name is not obvious). I've found it useful to reduce the number of questions directed to me/my team and to help others be more self-sufficient.

    We also utilize a lot of soft crediting, and our development reports oftentimes refer to the soft credit recipient rather than donor. Losing the ability to export the soft credit recipient data would be a huge issue.
