Student Phone Number Field Permission Issue
Thank you Efe for today's session with Team Gamma.
Regarding the final question about the custom Phone Number field on the Student object—specifically the issue with configuring Field-Level Security permissions—I've identified the root cause.
The Problem: The Phone Number field is currently set as "Always require a value in this field in order to save a record". This prevents users from unchecking the Read and Edit Access checkboxes in the Field-Level Security settings.
The Solution: To enable proper Field-Level Security configuration:
  1. Navigate to the Phone Number field settings on the Student object
  2. Edit the field definition
  3. Uncheck "Always require a value in this field in order to save a record"
  4. Save the changes
  5. You will now be able to configure Read and Edit Access permissions as needed
I've tested this solution and can confirm it resolves the issue.
