Cannot REMOVE approval of BOR to adjust date

Scoutbook Using Scoutbook & Scoutbook Plus

I’m needing to adjust BOR dates after they’re approved. I keep getting a message that it’s already approved. I tried removing the “Approved” checkmark, but it says I can’t because it’s already been Approved. I couldn’t simply alter the date either.
Since I accidentally approved them, I’m unable to un-approve them. How can I do that?

Please help.

@KananiPottinger

Is the rank marked awarded? If so you have to clear that as well.

Are you trying to change the BOR date or the overall completion date? You need to work with the overall completion. Remove that approval then you should be able to change the date. The overall completion date and BOR date are linked.

@KananiPottinger If all of the individual requirements are checked off, then they will “roll up” and mark the overall rank as completed. I would recommend picking one of the other requirements (Scoutmaster conference) and temporarily unapprove it and remove the date. Then you should be able to unapprove the BOR date, save, and then change the BOR date.

I have the exact same problem and keep getting, “You cannot edit this rank requirement because it’s already approved.” No matter if I uncheck approved or awarded, when I attempt to change the date on Scoutbook won’t let me save a new day. This is a new problem because I used to be able to fix mistakes, many of us in there and mistakes happen. Does anyone know how to work around this?

So here is my situation. We incorrectly entered in a date that was a week short of the requirement. So I attempted to uncheck “Earned”, uncheck approved and awarded and then adjust the date. Then I hit save and get, “Please Check the date… Requirement 8 was completed before this date.” I knew that which is why we are trying to fix the problem. So I go to requirement 8, BOR, and uncheck Leader Approved, adjust the date and hit save and Scoutbook tells me, "You cannot edit this rank requirement because it’s already approved.

Owen earned Life Scout badge on Mar 21, 2024. All Life Scout requirements must be completed on or before Mar 21, 2024. Now I am in a loop. I cannot fix either entry. How do I break this loop and help him get his Eagle Application corrected?

It looks like this Scout earned Star rank on 9/28/2023, so Star rank + 6 months would be: 3/28/2024. So you can’t use a date earlier than that for Life requirement #1.

I think when I’ve fixed these before, my process was something like:

  1. Select rank and unapprove the overall rank. Save.
  2. Select rank and unapprove the erroneous requirement. Save.
  3. Select rank and enter correct date for requirement. Save.
  4. Select rank and Approve rank as complete on corrected date (if that was the last requirement completed). Save.
    I haven’t had to do it in a while, and wasn’t sure from your post if you were doing as many intermediate steps as I was used to doing.
