Title: Unable to run a batch update of contribution soft credits
ThreadText: # Unable to run a batch update of contribution soft credits
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-20)
  
  I created a profile with only two fields:
  Soft Credit
  Soft Credit Type
  
  I intend to use it to go back into my contributions and assign soft credits to contributions.
  
  First I go to Contributions -> Find Contributions and execute my search. I select 'Update Multiple Contributions', and I select my Soft Credit profile.
  
  The relevant contributions are displayed. But the Soft Credit and Soft Credit Type fields are blocked/blank. I know some of my contributions already have soft credits assigned but that information doesn't show. And I am not able to assign new soft credits to any contributions.
  
  I thought this functionality was added in 2013: <https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Soft+Credit+Enhancements+-+4.4>
  
  I have no trouble updating contributions' Thank You dates with another profile. What am I missing? Thanks!

  Currently updating contribution to add/update soft credits are not supported. I feel Updating soft credit was missed during initial implementation. We will need to submit a core fix to have it working for Contribution Batch update.
