Add button (above cycle 4 label) called 'Set Default Values' that will set the default escalators according to @jsfried matrix and the cycle length. The cycle length comes from the RxPackage table.
Note: We will postpone item #6 (more decimal places) until the next release. The existing scenario_cost_revenue_escalators schema only supports 2 decimal places. The defaults will be rounded to the nearest hundredth. 10 Year Cycle: Cycle 2: 0.65 Cycle 3: 0.44 Cycle 4: 0.30
5 Year Cycle: Cycle 2: 0.79 Cycle 3: 0.65 Cycle 4: 0.53
All looks good.
Update SQL that queries for cycle length to select max cycle length so we always use the longest one for selecting default escalators. In practice they should all be the same but this isn't enforced.
From @jsfried: The only tweak I would suggest is to the note on the screen—a user reading it might think that the 1.0 values they see displayed (if they haven’t updated them) are a default (since that IS the do nothing option). How about replacing the first sentence: Note: Loading the Default Escalators (via the button) will replace whatever is currently entered with values that presume a 4 percent real annual discount rate.
And ending the note with: Use of the 1.0 values that are the default BEFORE selecting default escalators with the button or entering your own calculated values, is not recommended.
