Body: <p>If I sign a donor up for a monthly/Recurring Contribution Series -> then I can go in and add a soft credit to the Contribution. </p>
  
  <p>But I can't add it to the series - so next month - when the next Contribution is generated I don't get any Soft Credits. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone looked into this? Add fields to Contribution Recurring Series and then code to template those into the Contribution that is generated next?</p>

Title: How can I add soft credits to a Recurring Contribution Series
ThreadText: # How can I add soft credits to a Recurring Contribution Series
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-03-27)
  
  If I sign a donor up for a monthly/Recurring Contribution Series -> then I can go in and add a soft credit to the Contribution.
  
  But I can't add it to the series - so next month - when the next Contribution is generated I don't get any Soft Credits.
  
  Has anyone looked into this? Add fields to Contribution Recurring Series and then code to template those into the Contribution that is generated next?

  I don't think this is currently possible, but I've recently been up to my elbows in soft credit customizations.
  
  I think the answer is an extension that checks whether the first gift is soft credited. If so, it should apply an identical soft credit to succeeding gifts.
  
  I recently released the extension [Soft credit Custom Fields](https://github.com/MegaphoneJon/com.megaphonetech.softcreditcustomfields). You could use soft credit custom fields to further specify other options. E.g. only soft credit the first X contributions; if the contribution amount is increased later, does the soft credit increase as well; etc.
