List isn't printed fully

Question

I'm trying to get the following code to work.

When I get to the part where the student_titlecase is supposed to print, however, only the last student id displaying.

students = []

def get_students_titlecase():
    students_titlecase = []
    for student in students:
        students_titlecase = student["name"].title()
    return students_titlecase

def print_students_titlecase():
    students_titlecase = get_students_titlecase()
    print(students_titlecase)

def add_student(name, student_id=332):
    student = {"name": name, "student_id":student_id}
    students.append(student)

student_list = get_students_titlecase()

student_entry = input("Would you like to enter a student? ('y' for yes, 'n' for no)")
student_entry = student_entry.lower()

while student_entry == 'y':
    student_name = input("Enter student name: ")
    student_id = input("Enter the student ID: ")
    add_student(student_name, student_id)
    student_entry = input("Would you like to enter another student? ('y' for yes, 'n' for no)")

print_students_titlecase()

Not sure as what exactly is the challenge you are trying to solve but according to what i understood:

In code:

def get_students_titlecase():
    students_titlecase = []
    for student in students:
        students_titlecase = student["name"].title()
    return students_titlecase

Maybe this is what you meant to do:

def get_students_titlecase():
    students_titlecase = []
    for student in students:
        students_titlecase.append(student["name"].title());
    return students_titlecase

Appending all the titles, rather than updating the students_titlecase;

Hope this helps.
