[14:18:24 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> or DoD

[14:19:15 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> the veterans status and military affiliation are two completely separate fields with no connection or dependency between the two. most of the fields/reference items in the student intake a configurable through the admin.

[14:19:15 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> so we can either remove custom values for veteran status

[14:19:26 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> ...

[14:20:01 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> so in other words you want military affiliation to appear as a field even if they say they are no affiliated to the military?

[14:20:15 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> That's correct

[14:20:25 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> that's how the student intake tool works

[14:20:29 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> it is not

[14:20:45 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> for example

[14:20:53 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> military branch only appears

[14:21:03 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> when the career goal of 'Military' is chosen

[14:21:12 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> thats what I mean by dependencies

[14:21:28 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> there are about a half dozen examples like that

[14:24:13 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> another example

[14:24:14 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> // DEPENDENCY -> childCareArrangementQuestion shown when

[14:24:14 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> // childCareNeededQuestion selection matches "Yes"

[14:24:26 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> I see what you are saying. I was only looking at the demographics tab in the intake tool

[14:25:04 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> you are looking at intake fields that have additional input if selected

[14:25:26 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> this is a third field dealing with military

[14:25:36 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> right

[14:25:44 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> which is only valid if they are in the military

[14:25:56 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> like any other 'additional input' fields

[14:26:02 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> they require context

[14:26:32 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> it's only valid if they select the military education/career goal. that is not related to the two fields on the demographics tab

[14:26:41 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> so again

[14:26:45 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> two different things

[14:26:55 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> career goals —> military branch

[14:26:58 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> one dependency

[14:27:10 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> veteran status —> military affiliation

[14:27:14 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> probably should be another

[14:27:35 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> we dont have to do it, it just doens't make much sense

[14:28:06 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> that's not how the current tool works though. MyGPS should match what the tool does

[14:28:39 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> ookay

[14:29:02 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> the origin of this is that the military affiliation field originally existed in another tool, not student intake. Shawn put it in the intake instead of creating a separate tool.

[14:29:28 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> ok, not sure thats a good reason to confuse the user though

[14:29:30 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> so you need from me a full list of fields in the intake that have a dependency

[14:29:47 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> yes that would be great, to verify and validate whats already in there

[14:33:53 CST(-0600)] <TonyUnicon> I'll have to remember the 'lets do what the last tool did' mantra next time we discuss the 'Active' field for the self help guide admin (smile)

[14:34:48 CST(-0600)] <JasonElwood> I'm with you man. It's a mixed bag of requirements that don't necessarily make sense.
