Editing student-only attributes on teachers will show confusing and misleading error message

[brianchoon]

I understand that in the planned enhancements, this is expected to be fixed.

However, it is still extremely misleading for users if they edit such fields (e.g. nok) for teachers.

For example, I tried to edit the next-of-kin for a teacher, and the message shown is this:

It says Edited Person: which is incorrect as the teacher's details were not edited at all!

This may cause a lot of confusion and panic among users as the app is claiming that it has edited something but the user does not know what is edited.

Team's Response

As you've mentioned, we've already specified in the Planned Enhancements that we will prevent users from editing such student-specific fields for a teacher. Implementing that will prevent users from seeing this confusing behavior.
