Make Gift Type Editable

Currently, Gift Type (database view) cannot be edited after it's been entered. The only way to change a gift record is by deleting the gift and creating a new one, which can be cumbersome, time consuming and inefficient if you have to change multiple records.

    Per KB #193239, Gifts added through RENXT cannot be deleted anymore! This adds more problems as you cannot even manually correct these anymore via Delete/Add or Export/Import. We have issues where people left the default of "Cash" instead of changing it to "In-Kind" for non-monetary donations. BB told us we should change the amount of the gift to $0.00 and then add a whole new Gift with the correct Gift Type. This makes no sense since the value of the gift is already $0.00 on this gift entry. We are duplicating a gift in the database for no reason.


    It would be nice if we had the ability to simply change the Gift Type to one of the other available drop-down options already defined for this field. I don't understand how this ability impacts the "functionality" of Webview.

    Caveat to this: make it part of the security options so that it can be unchecked/unselected so that users can't accidentally change it.....
