Comments.Text: What I have is a membership with a price set. In the price set are the membership levels and various optional contributions that can be checked off. What happens with my users is that when they renew, we sometimes handle their renewals in the back-end. When you add a brand new membership and select the price set, you get the same checkboxes to select your desired contribution as in the front-end. However, sometimes our users want to change or select new contributions when they renew. When you renew in the back end, there are no options for this.

Title: Changing financial contributions when renewing memberships
ThreadText: # Changing financial contributions when renewing memberships
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-09-15)
  
  I have a site where users can select various contributions when they create their memberships.
  
  Sometimes I renew members from the back-end of civi. However, when I click "add membership", I get a pop-up telling me that I can renew the membership instead of adding a new one.
  That makes sense, so I click the link to go to the renewal screen.
  
  The problem is that on the renewal screen in the back-end, I don't have the option to change a user's financial contributions.
  
  Am I missing something? Or is this something that can be added in with a hook?
  
  Thanks in advance,
  -Joel
