On our transcripts, for the "Additional Testing" category, we use this to show any previous Regents or other tests our students have taken before coming to our school.

More and more often, advanced students are starting to take certain Regents exams in middle school. Likewise, transfer students will always have Regents exams they have already taken. We also accept quite a few other additional tests, such as LOTE.

We have to list each test separately, with their years, because if I try to put the year in that the student took the test, and the date is prior to the student attending our school, it will not take. I also don't think those dates print on the transcript anyway, even if they are entered. So for example, we have entered: CC Algebra 1 June 2018, CC Algebra 1 June 2019, CC Algebra 1 June 2020, CC Algebra 2 June 2018, CC Algebra 2 June 2019, CC Algebra 2 June 2020, etc, etc, etc.

In all we currently have 59 additional tests, and every time we add a new one, I have to go into all of our transcript templates, go into the additional testing area, and manually check each one. They also only show up with about 6 tests per "page", so even clicking the "select all" button only goes so far. I then have to go to page 2, "select all", page 3, "select all", etc etc.

(I have attached some pictures as an example)

It would be much easier if under the "Tests to Include" section, there was a button at the to that said "All tests". This should also be backwards compatible, so even if tests are added at a later date, they will still be included as long as that box is checked.

This is not a huge bug or anything, but it's very tedious to continually have to go in and make these changes. (As with most of the issues I find with the software, there are some things that might have seemed good/very customizable in design, but that are just SO tedious in practice.
