Description
TEA is requesting if this field can be a descriptor attribute vs a string.
From TEA:
Can <GenerationCodeSuffix> be a descriptor table instead of a free form text field? A free form text field would negatively affect PEIMS Main_PRD downstream.
Currently, in TWEDS, this code table lists the abbreviations, like "Jr."

If the user is able to enter any text like, Junior, Jr, Jun., then the Ed-Fi freeform text field would negatively affect PEIMS Main_PRD downstream.
