Symptoms

When using Program Enrollment Student Self Service, the My Schedule Building Search Results are not as expected when incorporating one or more filters set to require a match on the filter. The results show classes that don't match the filter option;  the filter is not set to the expected default value; and the student is allowed to update the filter.

This behavior does not match what is documented in the on-line help for the Required Match flag in use for a filter: "Required Match: The class Search Results page displays only sections that match the required criteria. A filter option appears
with a check box selected but the student cannot clear or change the filter criteria. For example, if an institution wants to display to the student only class sections that match the student's campus (see Student Program/Plan component), the institution can define campus as a required match".

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. On Set UP SACR > Common Definitions > Common Attribute Setup >Record Context, Select ACAD_PROG as Record (Table) Name, and add one or more Common Attributes for Filtering Classes.
2. On Set Up SACR > Product Related > Student Records > Curriculum Management > Class Search Configuration, Class Result Options tab, select the “Use Search Result Filters” box; then for each listed filter, select the “Use Common Attribute” box and set the Match column to “Required Match”.
3. On Curriculum Management > Schedule of Classes > Maintain Schedule of Class(es) for the classes that should use the filter(s), click the 'Associated Class Attributes' link and populate the attribute values.
4. On Records and Enrollment > Career and Program Information > Student Program/Plan, Additional Information tab, populate the attribute value(s) for the student(s) who should see the filter(s) in Class Search.
5. In Self-Service, My Education Plan as the student, click on Build Schedule, then 'Choose Main Section'.
6. Note that the results may display more sections than just those that match the filter, the box is not checked on the default filter, and the student is allowed to update the filter.
