Manual archiving of tasks [2]

[ophcode]

Feature Description

We as a health department (Gesundheitsamt Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg) implemented a workflow that is completely based on Sormas.
We are using "case investigation"-tasks that are marked as done when finished.
After the investigation a supervisor double-checks the investigated case and then at the end of the shift an automated script send a letter/mail to every person that has been investigated on that day.

The view of tasks marked as "done" is becoming more cluttered by the day and we would like to remove this clutter by archiving the tasks that have been double-checked and received mail.

Removing the tasks does not work (interferes with "case investigation" status), deleting the tasks is not wanted as the tasks contain important information - most importantly, the name of the person who did the investigation.

Proposed Change

Add a functionality to manually archive tasks - analogues to the "archive" button in case view.

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Details

• Batch processing for de-/archiving in the backend needed, not one-by-one on Task entity.

Additional Information

Possible alternatives:

• A bulk edit archive function in the task management view - anologue to the bulk adit funcitonality in the case directory - would work as well.
• If another, clearer, workflow is possible using existing methods in Sormas we might also switch to that if it does not add extra overhead to the investigating persons - some of them did not work on PCs before so we wantto keep their tasks as simple as possible.

We could add this request to issue #3430 and provide an additional archive option.

bulk option implemented with #3430. Missing: single button when editing tasks

Reopening because:
When the user selects 'No' in the Confirm archiving/de-archiving pop-up, the Task is automatically closed together with the pop-up. There is an inconsistency here, because, for example, when the user selects 'No' in the Confirm deletion pop-up, only the pop-up gets closed, the Task stays open.

Verified ticket on local setup using the latest version of Sormas 1.78.0-SNAPSHOT.
Note:

1. The translations have not been yet fetched from Crowdin
2. Currently, when archiving a Case, the Task of the archived Case is seen in the grid when 'Archived tasks' is selected, but it is not marked as archived in the db. This was the behavior since before this ticket was implemented.

@roxanamlendea when setting the feature configs EDIT_ARCHIVED_ENTITIES to false, archived tasks can still be edited.

[roxanamlendea]

@KristinaBorch The behavior that Tasks can be edited for archived Cases/Contacts is since #8463 was implemented. See the ticket's description and @sergiupacurariu 's comment from 24 November with the implemented behavior explanations.

[KristinaBorch]

@roxanamlendea The issue #8463 is mainly about read permission for S2S and not about read-only for archived entities. I think it is described in #8727 saying that tasks associated with archived entities should be read-only as well as archived tasks themselves.

@KristinaBorch the fact that when EDIT_ARCHIVED_ENTITIES = false, archived tasks can still be edited will be fixed when ticket #8727 will be merged.
