Comments.Text: You say "not getting a new membership when the other renews" - not sure if you mean 'they don't get an extended End Date', or something else, since in theory a renewal does not add a new membership.

Comments.Text: Thanks for asking; yes, you are correct.  The date of their membership isn't extended.

  We have two sites recently updated to 4.6.8 and are experiencing issues with family memberships, where the related party is not getting a new membership when the other renews.
  
  Are there any changes lately that would account for this? It had been working previously, in 4.6.3 and earlier.
  
  One of the sites has a number of extensions involved, but the other is pretty vanilla and they both have the same issue.
