Troubleshooting Payment Type Field Reverting from Insurance to Scholarship (CRM)

This guide helps resolve an issue where the Insurance Type field in opportunities automatically changes from 'Insurance' back to 'Scholarship', affecting reports and data accuracy.

Symptom/Error

When working with opportunities in the CRM:

  • You select 'Insurance' for the Insurance Type field

  • The field automatically reverts to 'Scholarship' within minutes (typically within 10 minutes)

  • This affects reports like Pending Admissions, Blue Media reports, and MTD reports

  • The issue occurs on both desktop and mobile versions

  • Reports show zero admits when there should be data

Cause

This issue is caused by a default value being set in the Module Layouts and Fields configuration. When a default value is configured for the Insurance Type field, it automatically overrides any manual selection and reverts the field back to the default value (in this case, 'Scholarship').

Solution

Follow these steps to remove the default value and fix the automatic reversion:

  1. Navigate to Module Settings:

    • Go to Settings → CRM Settings → Module Management → Module Layouts & Fields

  2. Access the Opportunities Module:

    • Select 'Opportunities' from the module list

  3. Locate the Payment Type Field:

    • Find the Payment Type field in the field layout

    • Click on the pencil to access its properties

  4. Remove the Default Value:

    • In the field properties, look for the 'Default Value' setting

    • If it's set to 'Scholarship', remove this value

    • Set the field to have no default value or 'Select an option'

  5. Save the Changes:

    • Click Save to apply the configuration changes

  6. Test the Fix:

    • Create or edit an opportunity

    • Change the Insurance Type to 'Insurance'

    • Save and monitor for at least one hour to ensure it doesn't revert

Expected Result After Fix

Once the default value is removed:

  • The Insurance Type field will retain the value you manually select

  • No automatic reversion from 'Insurance' to 'Scholarship' will occur

  • Reports will accurately reflect the correct insurance type data

  • Both desktop and mobile versions will maintain the selected values

Verification Steps

To confirm the issue is resolved:

  1. Select an opportunity where you previously experienced this issue

  2. Change the Insurance Type to 'Insurance' and save

  3. Verify that your records and reports now show the correct data

When to Contact Support

Contact Dazos support if:

  • You cannot locate the Insurance Type field in the Module Layouts and Fields settings

  • The field continues to revert after removing the default value

  • You need assistance with updating affected reports to include scholarship data as an alternative solution

  • Multiple fields are experiencing similar automatic reversion issues

⚠️ Important: When contacting support, provide specific opportunity names that are affected and your instance URL for faster troubleshooting.
