Development - Please can we look at refining age statuses and role types? (Feb 22) Higher priority

[greymalkin3]

I am setting up a role type for each age status as this is what is required, however because of the new projects, this has now become more complicated with about a dozen age statuses.

It seems like for project members, their age status and role type are the same thing. Where it gets complicated is the other people involved in the projects.

Would it be possible to calculate the age status? This would need to be done as at today and possibly historically too.

This needs some careful thought

So the problem is that our funders want to know the age-status of our members when they attend an event. For example for ABSS we must know if a child is under four at an event and for FLU if a person is over 65.

This was simple enough with just one project but now we have a complex range of age statuses (approximately one for every five years)

The preferred solution would be that an age status is derived from a person's date of birth and appears in two forms: their current age status when you look at their people record and what their age status was when they attended an event.

The problem with this are people who we don't have a date of birth for. In which case these might need to go to a catchall set of age statuses (adult, child under four, child over four, and unknown)
