Known Issue - Mass Change Period Absences "A List of Students" Field Errors or Truncates Input List - Fixed 6/14/2019

For those with lots of mass changes due to AP testing:
We found using student groups to be quick and easy since our attendance clerks are working off of teacher google docs and excel sheets. Instead of pasting to the mass change period, they can make the group and select Use a Student Group. Hopefully, this problem is quickly fixed, AP testing is already stressful for staff.
I created a how to document for our sites using the Multi Student Search Option. Copy and paste the student ID list into the Multi Student Search, Keep the list, then go to the Mass Change Period Absences. Select Use the kept students (no section needed) option, then they can use it without a problem.

Type or paste IDs into the Search Students field and press Search:
On the Student Search popup that displays, click on Keep Students:
On Mass Change Period Absences, select Use the kept students (no section needed):
