The current system is capable of showing all or hiding all relationships in Account Settings > Privacy. I propose adding the ability to show/hide relationships by relationship type. For example, a parent of a current student could show their child and spouse relationships to other parents, but hide their sibling and parent relationships. Currently, the only way to accommodate users who request to hide specific relationships is to delete said relationships from Core. This creates problems with data integrity and fundraising outreach, which benefits from the relationship information.
This is a huge problem for us in the case where you search by last name and parents to do not share the same last name. When you hide relationships you do not see the parent with the different last name.
Absolutely. This is a major directory flaw.
