Allow replacement of expired Name Request

[severinbeauvais]

Currently, when there is a draft IA/registration/amalgamation/restoration/continuation in filing and the NR has expired, our software (UI) blocks the draft from being resumed.

This epic is to change our software so that a draft filing with an expired NR can be resumed and the user can select a new (ie, re-submitted) NR. This epic applies to continuation applications only. The other filings can be updated in a future epic(s).

At a minimum, the following need to be updated:

1. The My Business Registry table currently states that the application is no longer valid. The tooltip should be updated.
2. Filings UI (entity dashboard) currently blocks the draft from being resumed. This needs to be updated.
3. Create UI (application form) currently blocks the draft from being resumed. This needs to be updated.
4. Create UI will need to identity that the current NR is expired and allow for the selection of a new NR.

NB - Renewing a NR will not affect or be affected by the above, since a NR-to-be-renewed is still valid (for a few days). The changes above are for an expired NR.

@NaveenHebbale If a user has filed-and-paid a continuation application, and staff have requested changes, and then the NR expires, should we allow a user to replace the expired NR in the resubmitted application? (I think there's no technical reason why not.)

@severinbeauvais @OlgaPotiagalova ,

Scenario 1: Continuation application seating in Staff Queue and NR expired - Staff will ask to resubmit the application with a new NR.
Scenario 2: Continuation Application - The staff asked for a request for a change it is with the User - > System needs to check whether the NR is validated or not - if the NR expires - the user needs to take a new NR and resubmit the application

My question was whether to allow replacement of an expired NR after the application has been initially filed and paid. Naveen's response indicates "yes".

Now I am wondering, should we implement a (free) NR expiry extension mechanism so that the NR doesn't expire while the application is awaiting review?

And also, if the NR is about to expire after the staff have asked for changes, should we implement a (free) NR expiry extension mechanism to give the user a short period of time to make changes and resubmit?

Finally, do we have to consider the situation where the user has filed and paid the application, then the NR expires, then the user doesn't go in and replace it? (ie, abandons)

Cannot make any change to the filing until staff ask for change (CHANGE_REQUESTED)

Agreed. Thanks for the clarification!

Closing this old "epic ticket" in favour of the new epic link.
