Edit student feature can accept a specific parameter to be edited

[theeugenechong]

The edit student feature requires that all the parameters are entered when editing a student's info. This may be quite inconvenient for the user who may only want to edit a specific field (e.g. student number).

It could have been implemented similar to edit class, edit assessment where the parameters are optional.

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I don't think this is a minor inconvenience because users who are already so used to the way edit_class and edit_assessment work (allowing optional parameters) may face this problem occasionally when trying to use edit_student in the same manner.

Furthermore, realistically speaking, there is no reason to disallow a specific student parameter to be edited, hence this makes it less intuitive for the user.
