Option to NOT share salutations when address is shared
When students share addresses with their parent, the parent's salutation appears on the student record instead of the student's salutation. This is confusion. Please provide the option that when an address is shared, salutation does NOT need to be shared. This will eliminate confusion parents have expressed when looking at their child's information: they see their own salutation instead of their daughter's.

This would really be great to have. It's really frustrating to share an address with multiple family members and then not be able to assign individual salutations for each person who shares that address. It would make sense to have the Household salutation shared among everyone and have the Formal/Informal Salutations be tied to the individual. Thanks for considering!

Salvatore's idea is very sensible. We don't even want to use salutations when they are misleading.

I can't believe it's been 2 years since this was suggested, and nothing has been done. It's mind-boggling that a salutation would be shared along with an address.

I think it would work better if you had individual salutations for each person and allowed a separate field for a family salutation. This allows letters and address labels to be created with the most flexibility.

We have parents going into each child, and editing the salutations, effectively over-writing the edits they just made on the other child. Also, stepparents with no legal rights over the child will receive mail such as report cards that are addressed to them. Blackbaud, please consider this higher than just an idea suggestion, this is putting schools at legal risk.
