Ed-Fi Setting for Future Entry/Withdraw dates
Could we have an Ed-Fi config setting that allows us to set how many days in the future Ed-Fi will sync records?
For example, before the school year starts, winter break, spring break etc. we have families tell us they will withdraw or enroll in the future. Currently, if we future withdraw or enroll, we get more conflicts and errors on reports.
I would like to only send future E/W records if the date is 3 days in the future, otherwise the record should not be sent. Other districts may want to set it to 5 or more days.

This would be so nice if we could eliminate unnecessary conflicts caused by future enrollments.

This would be such an amazing help to cut down on some unnecessary research figuring out errors and conflicts.

We might need more than 3 days into the future for both entry and withdrawal. We're currently receiving applications for students requesting to enroll in January when we return from Christmas Break. Our Registrars are off during the break, so if they could process their applications now without causing conflicts, that would be wonderful. I seem to remember having conflicts with other districts who used Power School at the beginning of this school year when they would report future enrollment dates for our students.

I agree 1000000% why doesn't it just look at entry dates or exit dates? Regardless of how far in advance we hope to do it :)
