#5065 - Exceptions not repeat 25-26 backwards compatibility - Fix Dependents and Custom Components

[andrewsignori-aot]

• Changed the approach to generate exception information for dependents, swapping the container for a regular hidden field that produces the same JSON output to be saved to the DB. Kudos to @dheepak-aot for providing the solution. See below the new hidden field content, named with the same name as the previous exception container.

value = {
 exceptionDescription: `Dependant's income tax - ${data.dependants[rowIndex].fullName}`,
 pdDependentUpload: data.dependants[rowIndex]["pdDependentUpload"]
}

• Update existing custom components and create an additional one with a complete schema.

Thanks for taking the additional step for dependants exception and creating and updating the form.io component. Looks good 👍

The directory path 'Update to something meaningful to be saved to student files table.' is a placeholder comment that should be replaced with the actual directory path for file uploads.
