Hello,

I have discovered that when I attempt to use a comm speed key to add a communication to a student I am not able to enter the variable data; however if i don't use the speed key I can update this information?

Hi Derreck, Thank you for your question. A Communication Key is not a required field. Thus, dependent on the Admin Function selected, Variable Data is required. For example, the function GEN does not require Variable Data. However, if you choose ADMA, you will need to enter the Academic Career and Application Number. ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Functional Trainer

Similar to Derrek,
We have run into the issue that when we select the communication key, the variable data is disabled. The reason we use the communication key is that it auto fills the rest of the form quickly so it was very helpful to speed up the process even though it's optional. I am wondering if there is a way to fix it.
Thank you

Hello Beyene, Your question is greatly appreciated; thank you. Currently, a bug is causing the issue, and a fix is scheduled for Image 24. Here is a link to the CS Core Oracle Bug Infestation Tracking document linked to the ctcLink reference center https://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/96101/l/1461107-cs-core-oracle-bug-infestation-tracking. Have a great day, Beyene! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
