A bug was identified in the "Previous Legal Name" section of OpenCCC. The current design implementation does not provide the option to allow the user to: 1) Indicate that they have "No Previous Last Name" - like the "I have no Previous First Name" and "I have no Previous Middle Name" - and therefore the validation in place triggers an error message if a user tried to edit or remove an existing (previously saved/created "Previous Last Name" from the Account; 2) does not allow a user to have more than one previous legal name - which is a valid use case.
Removing a Previously Used Last Name from Account Profile may have legal implications and may prevent colleges from identifying education records associated with the User.
"As a student user, I need to be able to identify multiple Previous Legal Names - used in legal documents, including but not limited to educational documents - in my OpenCCC Account, as this information needs to be associated with me relative to my full educational record/history."
"As a student user, I need to be allowed to edit a previously entered "Previous Legal Name" in case of error/typo or other reason to edit my name, with proof of change submitted to my current home college Admissions & Records Office."
Expand the Previous Legal Name section in the new "MyOpenCCC" account system, once developed as part of RFP 17-01: New Portal Software Development 2017-2021 to allow the user to indicate the number of previous legal names associated with their existing legal and/or educational records, and then enter those multiple names into OpenCCC.
Similar to the way the "Colleges Attended" section works in CCCApply, expand the "Previous Name" section to include:
NOTE: this should be a standard design element for Legal Name, Phone, Email, and select other fields where we allow multiple instances of data elements. Some fields would NOT have this functionality, including: Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Permanent Address, etc.

Similar to the proposed changes to the "Phone" section, design and implement the following:
