Assessment Reasoning
This is a new capability for Dataverse allowing bulk backfill of prompt columns. No mandatory action is required and it mainly offers an optional efficiency improvement. Admins may want to review for awareness and plan usage, but it does not force configuration or create user-facing changes. Urgency and implementation effort remain low as the rollout is informational with no deadline or enforcement.
