New direct debit mandate/subscription creates an active membership
Created by: Upperholme
When a user sets up a new direct debit mandate Civi creates a contribution record with a 'pending (incomplete transaction)' status. If the contribution is for a membership, then a matching membership record is created. This membership should also have a pending status. However in my tests, using Civi 4.7.29 on Wordpress, the membership is created with a 'New' status.
So, when the first payment is made, instead of activating the pending membership, the membership is in fact renewed.
I realise that this may be a CiviContribute issue and not a result of anything that this extension is doing, but wanted to log it here to find out if any other users of this extension are seeing the same thing, and also to raise awareness of it here.
