Record if a donation amount was chosen from one of the fixed amounts
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

I'm working on a hypothesis testing method for comparing dollars/impression. For ease of use for Megan, it is necessary to know which donations came from selecting one of the fixed amount choices. Since the fixed amounts change, we fundraise in different currencies, and the high fixed values can occur less often than some low non-fixed values, it is not always possible to determine the set of fixed values programmatically from just looking at the donations. Could we start logging this? I'm guessing that a good place for this would be drupal.contribution_tracking.

@AndyRussG will this be covered in banner history?
@Pcoombe is there a different way we could get this?

@atgo Hi! It's not part of the banner history stuff. It sounds doable but would work differently...

Ok. Let's leave it out for now and we'll decide/triage later. We should stay focused on getting the MVP of the banner history stuff out for now.

It would be reasonably easy to add this to the data submitted from the banner, but there isn't really a place to store it in contribution_tracking.

Cool. Let's look at this later, then, after the banner history stuff is sorted out. Thanks!

Isn't this already in contribution_tracking.form_amount?

@awight That has the amount the donor picked, but not whether it was one of the fixed amounts (as opposed to using the 'Other' input box). I'm not 100% sure why it's needed, but that's what @ellery is asking for.

@ellery: How about a boolean that tells us whether the amount was from a radio button vs. from the Other box?

One thing I'm not sure about is whether the form_amount field is updated if a donor goes back to the banner and selects a different amount.

@awight Sure, that would work for me. Ideally, the boolean would signal if the final amount selected came from the Other box or not.
