Adding Housing History for Multiple Family Members
Currently, HIFIS users are required to add a Housing History record for each member of the family. This is time consuming for families with multiple individuals. Our HIFIS user have asked for an improvement idea where users would be able to create a Housing History record for one member of the family and then select other members of the family for that information to be replicated. This would significantly reduce the administration task of updating multiple Housing History records separately.

This is urgently needed. I have done some clean-up on the Family module recently and a significant number of spouses are ending up on our BNL because the Family Head is the only one with a Housing History record indicating they are housed.
HIFIS Support seemed to like the enhancement idea so if you see this message and also think this would be a good idea, please send in an enhancement ticket too!
I think that would probably make the most sense is to have a Housing History record be associated with multiple people. Currently it's a one-to-one relationship. If instead it was a little different like when you add a Housing Placement it asks which family members are part of the HP... but ultimately what it ends up creating is multiple unrelated Housing History records after move-in.
