Fix: set curriculumMembership ID as programmeMembership ID for assessment

Yafang Deng

When updating curriculum name on pre-assessment details, we actually selected a new curriculum membership. But sometimes the curriculum membership ID sometime can be not updated with the name. This bug was not something we could find on the UI, but it do affect the data quality.

So we fixed it, now it’s the correct curriculum membership ID set to the DB.

Auditing case-sensitive columns for Generic Bulk Upload

Currently, the majority of the columns on Bulk Upload templates are case-insensitive while some are not, which makes the validation rules inconsistent and users might feel confused.

To improve user experience, those case-sensitive columns should be fixed to case-insensitive.So we audited the 10 current templates, found all the case-sensitive columns and analysed the causes.

Besides, even though we allow the data in different casing, we should use the exactly correct data to write to the DB, eg. “female“ is allowed for the gender but “Female“ is the correct format in the DB and shown on the UI, otherwise they affect the data quality. We also found some columns have this kind of problem.

Rework available placement grade

Reuben Roberts

This is the first step on a larger piece of work to clean up the grades associated with posts and placements. Placement grades previously defaulted to the approved grade of the applicable post, but any of the ‘Other’ grades for the post could be used as well. As any current grade can be associated with a post, and hence with a placement, a number of inappropriate non-training / non-placement grades are in use, as well as now-inactive grades.

This initial work is to default the grade on placement to null on creation and allow only current placement grades that are training grades to be associated with new or edited placements, regardless of the grades attached to the post. This is both via TIS front end and the Placement bulk uploads.

Retrospectively, grades attached to existing placements are unaffected.

Subsequent work will apply similar restrictions to the selection of grades for creating or editing posts themselves, and after existing post grades have been reviewed and cleaned by data leads, placement grade selection will once again be limited to the particular subset of appropriate placement grades associated with their post.
