Custom Student Field Not Saving Inside accessaccounts.html

[aabdelazez]

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:

<input type="checkbox" name="[Students.U_Laptop]IsLost" value="1">

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">

Thanks for the clarification.

The field configuration is actually a Legacy Custom Field, not a Database Extension field.

The field is created under:
System Management > Data > Legacy Custom Fields > Student Fields 

and it appears in “Change Student Field Values” simply as:

IsCommittedForNextYear under student table

not as:

S_STU_X.IsCommittedForNextYear

So I think the original legacy field syntax seems to be correct: [01]IsCommittedForNextYear

I was able to:

* Display the field correctly.
* Retrieve the existing database value correctly.
* Position the row correctly inside the Student Access table.

However, the value still does not save from the `accessaccounts.html` page.

At this point, it looks like the issue is related to the page itself.

which may only process a predefined set of fields and ignore additional posted values added through insertion points.

I also confirmed the same field saves correctly from other standard PowerSchool pages and custom forms, but I need to use in this one > Guardian and Student Account Access
