Project Management - Feature Request: "Convertible" field on projectidea form


On the ProjectIdea form, create a hidden, computed for display field called "Convertible" with a formula of
@If(@IsNewDoc; @Return(@False); Convertible != ""; @Return(Convertible); "");
tmp := @DbLookup( \"\"; \"\"; \"VotesYesLookup\";
@LowerCase(\"IdeaVote\" + ProjectName); 2);
VotesFor := @If(@IsError(tmp); 0; @Elements( tmp ));
VotesFor >= 2

then change the hide-when of the ConvertProject field to "!Convert"
and the text immediately above ConvertProject to "Convert & @IsDocBeingEdited"

In this way,
1) number of DbLookups are minimized
2) adopters who want to change the rules for their own uses have a single, obvious place to make their changes.

... better yet, instead of hardcoding a vote count of 2, the Convertible field would look to a central database profile document containing "Number of Votes Needed", such that adopters could disable the voting feature without making any coding changes.



Taken Actions by Owners



In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
