Budget request — amount

amount (BudgetRequest.amount) is a field stored on each budget request record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a Float value and is part of the budget request record's data. The amount field belongs to the budget request it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set amount while working with that BudgetRequest record. Because amount is part of the BudgetRequest record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the budget request.
