Answers.Text: are we talking https://civicrm.org/extensions/line-item-editor - if so would be good to have the link in the Answer - just 'line item editor' not exact match with 'edit line item' and there is every chance there is more than one such extension around :-)

Answers.Body: <p>Why would you not use the 'Record refund' link on the contribution page? This keeps the history nice and tidy.</p>

  <p>We've actioned the partial refund to address the overpayment, but I need to make a record in CiviCRM of this partial refund.</p>
  
  <p>Right now it looks like the simplest option is to create a new manual contribution record with a negative value, assuming that's do-able, but it's far from ideal. Is there a better way that enables me to keep the membership and the record of the credit card payment already made?</p>
