fenbs_add_decision
Record decisions, open questions, or standing rules on a fenbs board. Use it to capture what a person decided, ask for a decision, or set a rule that always or never applies.
Instructions
Record a decision, or ask a question for a person to decide. This is also how a RULE is recorded: a rule is a decision that holds from now on (standingRule true). When the person you work for says how something must always, or never, be done, record it here -- status decided, standingRule true, them in deciders, their words quoted in reason -- never as a context note. You may write a decision down; you never make one: record decided only when a person decided it. When nobody has decided yet, add it as open (the default) and ask. To change a rule, record a new decision with supersedes. Search fenbs_list_decisions first. Link the tasks that depend on it with tasks. Needs permission to change tasks.
