Custom Student Field Not Saving Inside accessaccounts.html

aabdelazez — Wed, 13 May 2026 23:04:11 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am trying to add a custom student field checkbox inside the following PowerSchool admin page:

accessaccounts.html

I add this filed "IsCommittedForNextYear" and create a page fragment called "accessaccounts.student_access_commitment.content.footer.txt"

The field works correctly in:

Change Student Field Values
Custom standalone pages/forms
Also Displayed the current value correctly inside accessaccounts.html
However:
- The value displays correctly
- The page submits normally
- But the custom field never saves

Any guidance would be appreciated.

What are the details on the addition of the new field? Can you clarify what Database Extensions shows (Extension Type, Extension name, table name, Column Name)?

I added this filed "IsCommittedForNextYear " from
Legacy Custom Fields -> Student Fields

The field is also available and editable from:

Change Student Field Values

I can successfully:

Read/display the value inside accessaccounts.html
Save/update the field from standalone custom pages/forms using:
name="[01]IsCommittedForNextYear"

So the field itself is working correctly.

The issue only happens inside:

~[brij_renderform:admin-accountmanagement-pkg;:GetStudentAccessAccounts;:admin-accountmanagement-pkg;:SaveStudentAccessAccounts]

Inside this page:

The value displays correctly
Submit completes normally
But the updated value is ignored and not persisted

I did NOT modify the native PowerSchool page directly.
Instead, I created an insertion point fragment:

accessaccounts.student_access_commitment.content.footer.txt

In there, there's an example of a single checkbox for booleans which would be a single checkbox. In the example, it shows that you would use the extension name in the checkbox name attribute:

When you created the column, if it's attached to the default extension, I find I have to put in the extension name when naming the control anyway:

<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="[students.u_students_extension]mod_day_parent_consent" id="chk_mod_day_parent_consent" class="ctl_edit">
