Allow withdrawal date before end of term without dropping student's classes

Proposal: We need to be able to enter the real withdrawal date for a student without the system automatically dropping them from their courses. Currently, if the actual wd date is before the end of the term, their classes are automatically dropped, including from the previous term for multi-term classes. Thus they don't show on the transcript (unless you designate show dropped courses, which is impractical because you may not want ALL of a student's dropped courses to show.) To avoid these issues, you must choose a wd date after the term ends. However, then that incorrect "fake" withdrawal date shows up on the transcript. Having the students automatically dropped from courses is a big problem for these reasons.

    This is an absolutely awful bug, and I really wish they would make it a priority.

    This would be extremely helpful for our school if a student self-selects out of Honors and drops to regular, we keep it on the transcript

    It happens often enough that a work around with fake dates inadequately describes a students path through our curriculum
