FOCUS-40362- School Choice: New Computed Custom Field Option
This update brings a significant enhancement to the School Choice Module. We've incorporated a 'Computed' Custom Field type into the School Choice Setup. This addition allows our customers to craft specific outputs using SQL queries. The results from these queries will be prominently displayed on both the Choice Application and Choice Report, providing a more tailored and adaptable user experience.
See School Choice Setup > Setting Up Custom Fields for more information.

FOCUS-38134- Postsecondary: New Option for Attendance when Merging 2 Students
The branch introduces new functionality to the "Merge 2 Students" tab within the "Delete a Student" feature for Postsecondary schools. This enhancement addresses the handling of differing attendance records when merging two students. The changes are as follows:
- Cancel the Merge: This option will prevent the merge from happening and display an error message. The two students won't be merged.
- Keep Student's Attendance: This option maintains the current default behavior. It uses the attendance records of the student that is being kept.
- Use the Greater Attendance: This option selects the greater attendance record, regardless of whether it belongs to the student being kept or the student being deleted. This option is selected by default.
These changes provide more flexibility in handling attendance records during the merging of students.
