Allow mass updating of the "Tribute, Soft Credit, and Matching Gift" field in gift transactions
This would be helpful when, for example, many memorial gifts come in and the donors decide several months later to set up a named 'tribute' fund. It has to be changed for each individually now.
Just adding to this, when we get tribute gifts through the online DIY forms, having to manually update the Tribute Information field takes a lot of extra time, especially after an alumnus has passed and asked for donations to go to us. It slows the entire process down by days. Being able to mass update that field will save a lot of time and effort.
Tribute information should be imported along with the rest of a Journal Entry transaction. In addition Tribute information should be able to be imported as an update to a Journal Entry.

We use this field to not only track "In Memory" or "In Honor" donations, but also to help us track dollars raised by "solicitors" for our events.

We have no plans to add this functionality at this time.
