Rather than adding values to the gift that corresponds to the batch, you could try adding values to the batch directly. You will need to determine which field to add it to but this has worked in some cases where there have been issues.

I have not had this particular error for a while now. I am not sure if that means it was fixed for the areas I was working on or have just not been doing the same type of batches.

I am working on something now whereby I am adding gifts to a batch. I am getting the same exact error you mentioned above: Init method must be called before using this object. I have worked on gift batches in the past as well successfully. Any suggestions on possible workarounds????

Thanks
