Feature: Program facts can show the most specific category 

Description 

Editors often assign a parent degree such as "Bachelor" together with its subcategory "Bachelor of Science", so that a filter on the parent finds the program. The facts of the program then show both.

The new setting plugin.tx_academicprograms.facts.mostSpecificOnly leaves a category out of the facts when the program carries a descendant of it of the same category type as well. With it switched on, the program above shows "Bachelor of Science" only:

plugin:
  tx_academicprograms:
    facts:
      mostSpecificOnly: true

It is a site setting of the aggregate set fgtclb/academic-programs and a constant of the same name for a site on the static templates. It applies to the program page, the Course Data content element and each card of the Course List.

Only the categories assigned to the program are compared. A level that is not assigned breaks the line: with "Bachelor" and a subcategory two levels below it assigned, but not the level between them, both are shown.

The view helper <ace:program.facts> takes the setting as its new argument mostSpecificOnly , so a card template of your own passes it on:

<f:variable name="cardFacts"
            value="{ace:program.facts(program: program, fields: settings.card.fields, mostSpecificOnly: settings.facts.mostSpecificOnly)}" />

See Only the most specific category.

Impact 

The setting is off by default, so the facts stay as they are until it is switched on. Filters are not affected: the list and the finder still find a program by every category it carries and offer the same options.

An override of Program/Item.html that calls the view helper without the new argument keeps showing every category on the card.
