Fixes

  • [SV-4896] - Workflow Expiration Causing New Workflows of Same Type from Being Created
    • Fixed an issue where bulk expiring a workflow for a student disabled the institution from creating the same workflow for the student for the same year, even with a new tracking group identifier. Institutions can now correctly request the same type of workflow as expired for the student, within the same award year, under a separate tracking group.
