			=== 2024 Aug 20: SDS Gavintech: Attendance Code / Reason Picklists Slow ===

			This task changes the ''SDS Gavintech'' app shared component that is used
			by all or most screens with an Attendance Code / Reason picklist so that it
			internally uses the database more efficiently and thus performs better.
			For a typical scenario of displaying 20 attendance codes, it now performs
			this using exactly 1 database call rather than 21 database calls.
			This benefit is seen on every screen using this picklist, not just 1.

			While the impact of this change alone on a single user action is likely too
			small for a user to notice, it still contributes to efficiency, and in
			aggregate, performance improvements users would notice.

			This task also changes the internals of the 1 screen Staff Menu ->
			Attendance -> Input Absences such that it now uses the same, now improved,
			app component for its Reason picklist, rather than duplicating it.
