Withdrawn Talk Status #183

When a talk is withdrawn we can't tell what the talk's previous status was. It’s helpful when trying to get ahold of things to know if they were previously:

  • accepted
  • waitlisted
  • neither, and just withdrawing of their own volition

When you go to Program, it just says “declined” but not if it was on the waitlist and declined or accepted and declined, and when you go to Selection, it does list “Withdrawn” vs. “Withdrawn & Confirmed”.

This stemmed from a conversation in Slack with Abby as we settled a program and had speakers withdrawing. Their talks had been promoted to the program and then once the talk was withdrawn we couldn't tell if it was a talk that had been accepted or waitlisted.

Thinking out loud, I think there are a couple of ways that we could tackle this:

  1. We could add another state to the state machine (WITHDRAWN_WAITLIST perhaps)
  2. We could add boolean or date fields for when a talk was accepted or waitlisted

I don't think either of these are particularly clean, though, so I want to workshop this a little more.
