How to handle Motions and votes? Vote needs to stay with motion. Currently app does not allow both vote on motion(s) and vote on item. I believe at one time the plan was to have a separate “page” for Motions. For test purposes I added the motion to General/Item Text. See 997 (app would not allow line break).
Motions (most often budget related) can take up to ½ page. Need to allow plenty of text capacity. I believe that’s why a separate section for motions was proposed—plus having a way to keep motion and motion vote together.
