Prefill Notes Field Using a Dropdown

Hi! When teachers are taking a roll, we’ve found that they frequently use the notes field although this makes it difficult for us to categorize these later on since they may use different wording than what we expect.

A great feature to have would be to add an optional dropdown with configurable preset options to the notes field so common notes can appear in a standard format.

Who is this feature for?
Teachers, Staff
Platform
Browser Extension, Desktop, Tablet
What problem would this new feature help your school solve?
Teachers using the notes field use different wording when referring to similar things. This can make categorizing common reasons more difficult later on. This feature would help solve that by making it more consistent and allow teachers to input common notes more quickly.
How often does this problem happen?
Daily
Describe the impact on your school if this problem remains unsolved?
Medium impact as the current system requires teachers to spend a bit more time writing notes and requires staff to manually spend time fixing the data when exporting and categorizing the data
Please list any other tools or platforms that you know of that offer similar functionality.
