In some cases, changing the term incorrectly identifies attendance records would be orphaned, such as when a term was extended. This issue is now resolved by the following:

• Extending a term, such as Q1 to S1, is allowed as this would not orphan attendance.
• Reducing the size of a term, such as S1 to Q1, is allowed if no attendance exists outside the new term being selected as this would not orphan attendance.
