School Forms -Update deceased indicator for Grandparent info
Merged
Add Deceased as a Y/N field to the profile update block for grandparents
An important part of a profile update when Grandparent records are maintained, is to provide the opportunity for parents to notify the school that a grandparent has passed away during the year. It is awkward and uncomfortable to send out school mailings to Mr. and Mrs. Grandparents, when Mr. passed away 3 months ago.
To me this seems to be a critical enhancement that needs to be made soon. There should be a box where the person filling out the form and check "deceased" and date of death (both current fields in the "Personal Information" box in Core). I wonder what the effect is to the grandparent's record if the person simply deletes the information in the name/address/phone/etc. fields in order to get rid of the information? Will it trigger a profile update? What are people using as a workaround?
