Selecting Topics from a list filtered by role

[pamlo412]

Changed this issue to be Predictive typing everywhere! - https://ocio-jira.acf.hhs.gov/browse/TTASH-31

User Story:

As a TTA Specialist completing an Activity Report, I want to be able to select topics from a predefined list of topics most relevant to me based on my role so that I can quickly select the most appropriate/likely options.

Acceptance criteria:

• [ ] when a user clicks in the Topics field, the options in the dropdown are filtered based on their role
  • [ ] Topics and assigned specialists are here: https://app.smartsheetgov.com/sheets/hR6H8jVwR8PhgMGGvcX8vWRfj7x9c62JMR3jWXc1?view=grid
  • [ ] note that topics may map to more than one role
• [ ] the user can select 1 to n topics for inclusion in the report (this AC may be covered by #235 if that story is done before this one)
• [ ] the user can deselect topics (this AC may be covered by #235 if that story is done before this one)

@PatricePascual-ACF and @arickalewis1 - do we have documentation of the mappings between topics and user roles and regions? We need them for this story.

Hi, @pamlo412 - the specialist does not need a region-specific topic view for the MVP. That would be a nice feature to research for much later. We'd need a manageable way to let Regions add topics that "corrupt" the all-system topics.
@arickalewis1 When you get with Damon tomorrow can you review a plan for making sure we align topics with the right specilaist? I think you have placeholders there and he can give you the right data. (from the master AR14 SmartSheet.)

Thanks, both of you.

Thanks @PatricePascual-ACF - if I understand you correctly, even though we won't filter by region, we do still need this story for the MVP so as to filter by specialist (which I hope means by role). To do that, we'll need some rules for which topics to display and/or some kind of mapping table to look up which topics to display for which users. Those rules or mappings are what I'm looking for.

Ready for grooming with developers ~except for answer to question about mapping of topics to roles~. Patrice added a link to a Smartsheet with the mappings we need, so this one is ready for grooming now.

@lstraghalis - fyi - I tagged "needs research" but I mean way down the road.
