Patch to fix bug in CTF import for applicants

Non-hosted schools only:

Please download patch 23971 if you are planning to import CTF files using the “add new pupils” option and place them in a pre-admission group.

Capita have identified a bug in the software which can incorrectly link a pre-admission pupil to an existing contact. In addition it can incorrectly update that existing contact’s address if there is a different address for the same named contact in the CTF file.  Patch 23971 will fix the bug

Please see the bulletin for more details.
