Description

The project has need of many statuses for projects and tasks

Status Meaning
open Defined and ready for action
waiting Blocked on something external (delivery, coworker, etc.)
deferred "Someday/maybe" — not committed to doing it now
declined Decided not to do; kept for record but inactive
stale No action in a while; needs review

It's tempting to shove this into an enum and enforce it at the database level, but we may want to update the list of statuses- this first draft is unlikely to be ironclad forever

Maybe we should achieve this with a simple string field and conventions, but eventually we'll want to formalize something around this.

  • Status changed from New to Backlogged
Actions #2

backlogged because this is practically a whiteboard party

Actions #3

Updated by Sam Pearson 23 days ago

  • Status changed from Backlogged to Open
  • Priority changed from Normal to High
  • App Component set to API

Setting this to high prio for now because there are one of two outcomes:

  • this is already handled with dedicated status endpoints rejecting requests for invalid statuses
  • that's what needs to happen but it isn't done yet.

Checking into this should be high prio and then we can re-evaluate after we know, but there's a good chance this ticket gets dropped because the work is already done.
