I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to have disappeared. I am posting again in hopes of finding an answer. The pledge duration drop down list only goes up to 50. Is there a way to increase this number when creating the donation form? Specifically for my organization, we would like for it to go up to 60, so that anyone who wants to make a 5 year pledge can give monthly towards that pledge.

    I had a similar issue and spent time in support chat to figure it out.  The duration is set based on the "Minimum Payment" when you set up your suggested gifts under Pledges.



    For example: You set a suggested gift of $120 and a minimum payment of $10.  When you set up monthly payments you'll get a max of 12 in the dropdown.  If you did $5,000, with a minimum payment of $83.33 you'll get 60 months in the dropdown.



    However, the durations for quarterly and annual gifts also stretch to the monthly max.  So you could have a pledge that is entered as $83.33/yr for 60 years.  (I would consider that a bug.)

    I also think the amount of time a pledge can be made over is an issue. For larger amounts the period is far too long and would prefer that the user could set a limit on the length of time this could be made over. I have put a separate posting up on this as I think it is important to fix.
