Remove DisciplineAction.StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation deprecated attribute

Having both the DisciplineAction.StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation and DisciplineAction.StudentDisciplineIncidentBehaviorAssociation cause confusion and adds a problem for vendors to submit both.  Shall we remove the former deprecated attribute?  

Please see the email from Tyler Tech to AZEDS team.  

Hello,

I am looking at the representation of the Discipline resources in the latest 8.0 Use Case.  I am surprised to see both ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation’ and ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentBehaviorAssociation’ as Required resources.  In every other EdFi implementation that I have dealt with, it has always been one or the other.  In fact, I was under the impression that ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentBehaviorAssociation’ was an EdFi replacement for the deprecated ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation’.

I just went to both of these pages:

https://api.ed-fi.org/v5.3/docs/swagger/index.html?urls.primaryName=Resources

https://sandbox-rest-ui-r8.azeds.azed.gov/swagger/index.html?urls.primaryName=Resources

And the description next to ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation’’ reads: “Deprecated: Users of this element are advised to use StudentDisciplineIncidentBehaviorAssociation or StudentDisciplineIncidentNonOffenderAssociation instead. Expect removal of this element in a future release.”

So, should ‘StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociation’ be removed from your requirements?

I am also noticing that an AZ extension was added to DisciplineAction just for the purpose of collecting a ‘DisciplineEndDate’.  Why is this necessary?  The EdFi DisciplineAction model has an EndDate, actualDisciplineActionLength and disciplineActionLength which seem sufficient to me.

Thank you,
