Core Grade Levels API Missing "Promote to Grade Id"

Michael Panagos

The "Core Grade Levels" API (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=school&operation=v1gradelevelsget) returns a value for "promote_to_code" but doesn't indicate what the next grade would be when a student is promoted normally (if any).

Because of this I either need to create a custom list to pull that info from the API or code it manually. Is there any way this value can get added in to this endpoint?

Update: Created Customer Support case

Hi @Michael Panagos,
There is now a new promotion object in the response that includes more detailed promotion information.

    {

        "id": 3988,

        "active": true,

        "description": "Lower School",

        "abbreviation": "01",

        "name": "1st Grade",

        "promote_to_code": 1,

        "promotion": {

            "type": "Next grade level",

            "school_level": {

                "id": 455,

                "description": "Lower School"

            },

            "grade_level": {

                "id": 1511,

                "name": "2nd Grade",

                "abbreviation": "02",

                "active": true

            }

        }

    }

That's great! We left last off with support by creating an Ideas request (https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12CO-I-4042) so I wasn't sure if this would make it's way to the API. Thank you for letting me know it has.
