📆 Date of Birth Visibility Permission
We introduced a new permission, View Full Date of Birth, that controls whether a user can see a student's complete date of birth. Without this permission, the DOB field displays as MM/DD/****, masking the birth year. With it, the full date (MM/DD/YYYY) is visible. Upon release, any user who currently holds a Contact view, edit, or admin permission will have this permission enabled automatically.
