Description

Is it possible to allow students to define their choice of preference for Programs during the application?

Resolution

Currently, the Program Application‍ only supports one Program selection. However, you can extend the functionality by adding new custom fields and flow to automate the record update:

1. Create two Academic Program lookup fields (Account) to track the Academic Program selected for 1st and 2nd choice on the Program Application‍ object.

2. Create a picklist field with two options (First Choice and Second Choice) for registrar to denote the choice of Program for a student.

3. Create a record triggered flow or Apex trigger to update the "Program" field on application record with the selected choice.

4. Expose the new custom fields on your application form to capture the student's selection.
