Feature/Select Multiple Students

[JoeMacl]

Description

This PR builds upon the existing Staff Grant Extension modal by introducing multi-student selection support. It allows admins to grant extensions to multiple students at once, improving flexibility and efficiency in bulk extension management.

This update extends the form implemented in PR #330 and includes the following changes:

• Replaces single-student dropdown with for multi-student selection
• Updates the reactive form to handle an array of student_ids
• Adds validation to ensure at least one student is selected
• Adjusts the payload sent to the backend API to support multiple recipients

Important: You may need to manually enter the URL, as there’s currently an issue accessing units while signed in as an administrator. As a workaround, you can sign in as a student first, copy the unit URL, then sign in as an admin and paste it into the address bar.

To View the Feature

Pull the frontend code from PR #330

• Make sure you're signed in as administrator
• Choose any unit

Hey Joe!

I have reviewed the PR and can confirm that selecting multiple students from the list functions correctly. Additionally, the POST request returns a 201 Created response as intended

Before merging, we should determine how this feature will interact with Pull Request #359, which also introduces multi-student selection. As this change is intended to support the “search student” functionality, it will be important to coordinate the integration of both PRs to prevent any conflicts.

Overall, the implementation is robust and straightforward to test. Please find this PR attached for your reference.

Hey Joe!
Great job- I was able to select multiple students from a list and access the API through that as well! Like Sahiru mentioned the merging is going to be quite messy but I'm sure we can figure it out :)
