====== Change answer page ======


Wireframe: [[https://www.simongrant.org/RegenCHOICE/userinterface/answer-change.html|answer-change]]

This is where a change to an answer to a question is confirmed. It seems pretty important to have this confirmation page, as changing an answer to a property question is significant. Changing an answer to a relational question is not so significant, and needs to be treated differently.

----

===== Enquirer perspective =====
The enquirer is considering a change already drafted to one of their answers.
They see the previous and the proposed versions, together with notes about the consequences of going ahead with the change.

----

===== Sequence =====
==== Pages that lead here ====
  * [[my answer]]

==== Enquirer actions and destinations ====
  * confirm → [[my answer]]
  * back out of the change → [[my answer]]
  * nowhere else, as this might confuse navigation

----

===== Information =====
There are a couple of dependencies resulting in what is displayed.
  * If changing this answer negates an invitation to a candidate, because the candidate required the existing answer, then that needs to be pointed out.
  * If there are any questions [[ch:t:dependent]] on the current answer, they will be removed.
  * If the answer is now being [[ch:t:refused]], obviously no new value will be shown.

In each case, the appropriate information would need to be fetched and displayed.

==== Information and processing needed to set up the page ====

  * Explanation of what happens when an answer is changed.
  * Key variables: [[ch:fields:QID]]
  * The question title [[ch:fields:QTitle]] from [[ch:fields:MyLingo]]
  * My previous answer [[ch:fields:MyAVal]]
  * My proposed answer [[ch:fields:MyAVNew]]

==== Information input and stored/passed on ====
  * An optional explanation of the change, for property questions [[ch:fields:MyPropChNote]]
  * Store the new answer → [[ch:sto:DEV]]
  * A space to indicate that from now onwards the answer is refused


----

===== Implementation notes =====
If the answer change is confirmed:

  * cancel invitations where the candidate asked that question
  * communicate to people who have agreed contact, so they can break contact if desired
  * store new answer, date, time, and change notes in: DEV, LSV; change HUB

If the answer is withdrawn:

  * change answer status to withdrawn in DEV, LSV, change HUB
  * cancel invitations where the candidate asked that question


----

===== Commentary =====  
Should we have this page at all for relational questions? 
Probably not?
