Answers.Text: Ok, so, just to clarify: when creating those designation fields, our customer should create the custom fields and select "Contributions" for the "Used For" section instead of "individual", correct? I just want to make sure that I'm giving them the correct information :)

Body: <p>Ok, I'm hoping I can explain this so it makes some sort of sense :)</p>
  
  <p>In CiviCRM, we have a customer who has custom profile fields that donors can enter the amount of their contribution that they want to go to a specific cause
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/O7xdP.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/O7xdP.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>The issue is that the receipt is including the contribution the donor just made as well as the previous amount(s) they chose to designate the last time they made a contribution (since it's the same donor with the same email address).
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/oXlDV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/oXlDV.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to remove the amount from the previous contribution the donor made? It's not helpful for our customer because they don't know what amount/designation applies to what year when they view the receipt that's sent and the customers are concerned that they are being charged twice.</p>
  
  <p>Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated because this is one of our my vocal customers. :)</p>
  
  <p>If you need any additional information, please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>Thank You,
  Nicole</p>
