User can update manager email address but value not saved or used

If manager approval is turned on in F2F then the manager email in the user (student/employee) profile (shortname managersemail) is correctly displayed for confirmation.
The manager email field can be updated by the user but it looks as if the value is ignored and the manager confirmation email goes to the (incorrect) original value in the user profile regardless. The manager value in the user profile is often wrong or may be away etc so allowing the user to nominate an alternate address is required (even if only for this request and doesn't update the profile) .

Code screenshot provided by our hosting company indicates the capability for the user to update the address may have been removed by Stacy Walker? (although the user still has the ability to enter an alternate value)

Can you please confirm the current function of the manager approval dialogue for whether the user should be able to update the field and the save and email send functions

thanks, Phil

Hi Phil,

thanks for the report, if your hosting company has development capabilities, feel free to get them to submit a PR to improve this - unfortunately we don't have a lot of volunteer time to work on F2F.
