Pre-fill Administrator in workshop event
Currently, several of the fields from the Centrally-Organised WRF are being automatically pre-filled in the event when accepting the form. Would like for the "administrator" to be pre-filled with LC, SWC, or DC based on what was selected on the WRF.
@sheraaronhurt please check if this is still valid feature request. I remember I worked on some advancements in prefilling that form, not sure if that was one of them.
@pbanaszkiewicz this update didn't happen. This is still a valid feature request.
Yes, in creating a new event from a workshop request/submission, we would want Administrator to auto-populate based on the lesson program of the curricula specified in the workshop request form.
The lessons aren't currently linked to Administrator, so this will require database changes and some migration, and then some changes in form logic.
Just wanted to get some clarity on this one since I'm not as familiar with the website yet.

@maneesha I'm not sure where on the website you can create a new event from a workshop. Could you suggest a url or a screenshot that would help me?
@lauryndbrown I can help you with that.
We store Workshop Requests, Workshop Inquiries and Self-Organised Submissions. All of these come from the forms and are often addressed as WRF - Workshop Request Forms.
You can browse existing entries in /requests/workshop_requests/ (for Workshop Requests) and /requests/selforganised_submissions/ (for Self-Organised Submissions). The links to these pages are inside "Requests" dropdown in top-navbar.
Once you open a single request/submission, you'll see a button down below the details table:
It allows you to change state to accepted, or additionally add new event based on the request's data:
This is how the new event from a workshop submission looks like:
To follow up on Piotr's examples above, here's how we'd want to assign Administrator:
If it's a self-organized submission form: Administrator = self organized. If it's teaching Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, or Software Carpentry curriculum, then that should indicate the Administrator.
Thank you - Let me know if you have any other questions!
This is a few years old but my last comment is still accurate with the note that this only applies to events created from a workshop request form. All other events will have this information filled in manually.
@elichad I think this should be ready to work on now.
