Add unique identifier to Fac/Staff Custom post type (Theme request)
Description
We have encountered use cases where we need to import or export faculty/staff data from the Faculty/Staff CPT. However, identifying a reliable key has proven to be quite challenging due to the absence of unique identifiers. The closest available option is the email address, but it poses difficulties since it can have various formats, such as netID@wisc.edu, Netid@subdomain.wisc.edu, or Vanity.Name@wisc.edu. This recommendation is to add a reliable key field to the CPT and suggest NetID.
This will help allow us to build better sources of truth for faculty / staff data and automate updating across various systems.
