Change to schedules endpoint behaviour in the past month?

We use info gleaned from the schedules/meetings endpoint to populate our staff Google Calendars, but sometime between August and now the JSON data returned has changed.

Previously, the ./values/teacher/head was populated with true for the Head Teacher for a class…but now ALL teachers for that class are marked false.

Advisories also seem to have lost all the extra teachers, whereas when we did our last upload of data to Google at the start of the school year, we got a full list of teachers associated with the homeform (advisory).

Has something changed on the Blackbaud side? There's no mention of a behaviour modification in the ChangeLogs.

    Hi! That is an issue we are planning to work on starting next week. You can call in to Support and have a case connected to the work item, so you are contacted when the fix is complete.

    @Julian Daniel - Until the problem gets fixed, you can infer which entry in the “teachers” array is the head teacher by comparing each entry's “id” field to the “faculty_user_id” field.

    My solution for the missing advisors is to read an advanced list.

    It's not a recent break - I saw the problem in August and opened a case then.
