IMPORTANT: please make sure you ask yourself all intro questions and fill all sections of the template.

Before we start...:

• [x] I checked the documentation and didn't find this feature
• [x] I checked to make sure that this feature has not already been requested

Branch/Commit:

main

Describe the feature:

Please include a detailed description of the feature you are requesting and any detail on it’s expected behavior.

As a user I add a project that I which to use as some sort of template project And then I add all the stories with descriptions I don't want anyone to accidentally delete the template project (since it cannot be recovered) I don't want anyone to accidentally delete a story in my template project (since it cannot be recovered

Problem:

Please include a detailed description of the problem this feature would solve.

As a user I add a project with stories So that I can use the project as a template to be cloned for future projects Now I or anybody on my team can delete the project And I or anybody on my team can delete stories in the project There is no way to prevent projects or stories from being deleted There is no way to recover a project or story after it has been deleted

Ideas:

I see two possible solutions, we can discuss implementing either or both.

1. A permission scheme that prevents unauthorised deletion.
2. Prevent deleting all together, use a different mechanism such as archiving or rejecting
3. Allow soft deleting only so we can recover projects and stories.

I will abide by the code of conduct

Just a note, archiving a project will prevent any change after this is merged https://github.com/fastruby/points/pull/178.

It also prevents additions though, requiring to un-archive it to add stuff (which may not be bad either, if it's something locked then you have to unlock it to add stuff too)

Thanks for clarifying @arielj .

It seems a bit like archiving is not really meant to prevent accidental deleting, instead it is a happy coincident. Perhaps my suggestion is a nice to have.

But I do think there is some value in adding a tool that is purposely added to protect a project and stories.
