Cohort placement — rationale

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