Abstracts may belong to parent Abstracts

[mdlincoln]

To represent multi-paper sessions or panels and their relationship to individual papers presented during, we will add a new optional parent_session field to the Work model that is a fk to itself.

When creating/editing an abstract, the optional parent_session field should be an autocomplete field that searches for abstracts restricted to the same conference and which have the work type "panel / multipaper session / roundtable"

• [x] Will also create a boolean is_parent field on the WorkType object, so we may declare which work type(s) may be treated as parent classes

[mdlincoln]

• [x] custom validate - a Work whose WorkType is is_parent cannot have a parent_session

I'm going to make a new work type called "multipaper session" that is different from "panel / roundtable," to help avoid confusion going forward. So we don't have to edit everything, can you make it so both panel and multipaper sessions allow children?

[mdlincoln]

yes, after the update, you will be able to go to Edit -> Abstract Types, click on a specific type, and check the box "Is parent" on whichever types you choose, which will enable them to have children assigned

[mdlincoln]

Should be able to push a little later today for you to try out before we issue further instructions to students

Perfect, thanks. I dropped a note letting them know it was coming, as you saw, but I'll give it a spin before ask them to deal with it.
