Description

Problem: A payment with an amount greater than zero, that is registered by civiBanking, automatically closes an existing contribution, no matter if the payment amount matches the contribution amount or not. The status of the contribution is automatically set to "completed".
This is especially problematic if the payment is not a donation, but corresponds to e.g. an event fee or a membership fee.
We have attached 2 patches, that have basically fixed the Problem for us and that we would kindly ask for to be reviewed.
These patches were created during CiviSprint Leipzig 2023

Research direction

Start by reviewing civibanking_partial_payment_defaultOptionMatcher.patch and civibanking_partial_payment_ExistingContributionMatcher.patch, then compare their intended behavior with issue #298. Verify the matcher distinguishes matching contribution amounts from partial or non-donation payments, and confirm that incorrect matches no longer set contributions to completed.
