When creating a new Lead Info Set for an individual who has one or more previous Lead Info Sets, it would be helpful if the system would automatically populate the values from the most recent Lead Info Set, allowing the staff member to only update those values that have, in fact, changed (particularly Academic Term).
It often occurs that a prospective student for one academic term does not start and/or submit an application, so we inactivate that Lead Info Set and create a new Lead Info Set for a subsequent term. In such cases, most of the individual's information (program, specialization, source, previous education level) tends to remain the same.
Currently, the built-in admissions fields must be manually populated for each Lead Info Set. (Alternatively, they can be left blank until they are mass-populated by the corresponding application, but only if the lead actually submits an application).
If the system would auto-populate the previous values when a new Lead Info Set is being added, it would prevent staff members from needing to re-enter so much data, thereby reducing blanks and inconsistencies.
