These changes improve accuracy and compliance in schedule generation.

FOCUS-48499- Add Absences: Improved Date Picker Visibility

This update enhances the Attendance module by ensuring that reasons entered through the Late Check-In/Early Release screen are now accurately reflected in both Attendance Administration and the Student Absence Summary.

When multiple entries exist for the same day, the reasons are displayed as a comma-separated list for improved clarity.

Important Note: With this branch, attendance_day.comment is updated only when a record is entered via the Late Check-In/Early Release screen. This process pushes the Absence Reason to the daily attendance comment field.

See Absence Summary (Admin), Administration, and Absence Summary (Teacher) for more details.

See Teacher Schedules Report for more information.

This update adds enhanced lock and delete functionality to the SSS Caseload & Services module.

These triggers allow steps within an event to be dynamically removed based on a student's current age or grade level, improving workflow customization and automation.

Note: When using the Greater Than or Less Than age condition, the system evaluates based on "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to." For example, if the condition is set to "less than 10," the trigger will still apply to a student who is 10 years and 11 months old.
