Issue of subscription for plan being set to "lifetime"

We have several plans, none of them are lifetime plans.
It seems when users are using one of our coupons, the system sets that member as a lifetime subscriber for that plan.  Is there any way I can stop this?
 

Also, the "lifetime" setting is read-only in the subscription.  I'm having to change the status in the database.  Is this expected behaviour?
 

Here are the coupon settings

Hello Gary

That happens when you give subscribers 100% discount coupon code and they use it for recurring subscription plans

To prevent that, you can edit the coupon code, set Apply For to Only First Payment. That will make coupon applied for first payment only, not all payments and subscriptions won't be set as lifetime subscription anymore

Thank you Tuan, this issue was spotted because we have to resort to using a coupon to provide a discount for specific users from certain job types.

Our preferred method to apply discount based on the result of a custom field selection box, like in:
joomdonation.com/forum/membership-pro-ge...custom-discount.html

So this would be used for Job type selection which then provides suitable discount.  
Is this possible/planned?

I know you have a text box option that can do this but we had users typing all sorts of stuff and we couldn't match anything.

Hi Gary

For that, I think it might be possible using custom fee fields (with negative fee value for fee options). See membershipprodoc.joomservices.com/basic-...wn-custom-field-type

Hi Tuan,
Thank for this info. I will try to work out what is not working.
I just picked up this site from a friend, so I'm still learning.

What are you doing working on a Sunday? Go and have fun!
