    This question file contains questions that are common in
    law-related interviews.  It also imports docassemble functions,
    initializes a role system involving a "client" and an "advocate,"
    and defines objects including "client," "advocate," "case,"
    "spouse," "pleading," and "court."

  A "metadata" block contains information about the interview, such as
  the title of the interview as displayed in the navigation bar.

comment: |
  A "modules" section imports class names and function names from
  Python modules.  The docassemble.base.legal module defines some
  object classes and functions that are useful in legal applications.

default role: client
code: |
  if user_logged_in() and user_has_privilege('advocate'):
    user = advocate
    role = 'advocate'
  else:
    user = client
    role = 'client'
  set_info(user=user, role=role)
comment: |
  This is a special "initial block" that initializes the "roles" system
  for the interview.  (This is an advanced feature.)

  The default user role is "client" and a secondary role is
  "advocate."  Unless modified with a "role" directive, all questions
  will require the user to be a "client."  The user is assumed to have
  the role of "advocate" role in this interview if the user is logged
  in and the user has "advocate" as one of his or her user roles.

  Many docassemble functions and methods need to know who the user is.
  The set_info() function communicates that information to the
  docassemble code.

  Since the code here is paired with the "default role" declaration,
  it is run as "initial" code, meaning that it is run every time
  docassemble processes the interview (i.e., every time the screen
  loads).  This is important because in a multi-user interview, a
  "client" and an "advocate" could be interacting with the same
  interview with the same dictionary of variables at the same time.
  But they would need to see different things, so it isn't enough just
  to use a variable in the interview to keep track of the current
  user; this needs to be reconsidered every time the screen loads.
---
event: role_event
question: You are done for now.
subquestion: |
  % if 'advocate' in role_needed:
  An advocate needs to review your answers before you can proceed.

  Please remember the following link and come back to it when you
  receive notice to do so:

  [${ interview_url() }](${ interview_url() })

  % else:
  Thanks, the client needs to resume the interview now.
  % endif

comment: |
  This block is related to the "roles" system that was initialized in
  the previous block.  (This is an advanced feature.)

  When docassemble needs to ask a question that requires a role other
  than the role of the current user, it needs to display a special
  message for the user.  It does this by searching for a question that
  offers to define the variable "role_event," and displaying that
  question.  The question above is an example of such a question.  It
  will be displayed in the event of a "role change" because it
  contains the directive "event: role_event."

objects:
  - case: Case
  - client: Individual
  - spouse: Individual
  - advocate: Individual
  - pleading: LegalFiling
  - court: Court
comment: |
  An "objects" section initializes variables that are docassemble
  objects.  The object types here (Case, Individual, LegalFiling, and
  Court) are imported through the docassemble.base.legal module.
  (See the "modules" block above.)
---
generic object: Individual
sets: x.child
code: |
  x.initializeAttribute('child', ChildList)
---
generic object: Individual

code: |
  x.initializeAttribute('income', Income)
---
generic object: Individual
sets: x.asset
code: |
  x.initializeAttribute('asset', Asset)
---
generic object: Individual
sets: x.expense
code: |
  x.initializeAttribute('expense', Expense)
---
mandatory: true
code: |
  case.court = court
  pleading.case = case
comment: |
  This code defines some basic relations among the objects created in
  the objects block of this YAML file.

  The objects created by the `objects` block do not have any
  connections among themselves, initially.  The interview needs to
  make those connections.  This "mandatory" code block establishes
  those connections.

  These connections among objects are what allows you to write things
  like pleading.caption().  In order to write the caption for a
  pleading, it is necessary to know the case of which the pleading is
  a part and the court in which the case is filed.  The ".caption()"
  method only has access to the attributes of "pleading," but these
  connections allow the ".caption()" method to gain access to the case
  and the court.

generic object: Individual
question: |
  What is ${ x.possessive('date of birth') }?
fields:
  - Date of Birth: x.birthdate
    datatype: date
comment: |
  This question file defines a number of "generic" questions like
  these.  If your interview refers to a variable called user.birthdate,
  docassemble will first look for a question that sets "user.birthdate"
  specifically, but if it does not find it, it will look for a
  question for which the generic object property is set to the object
  type of the user object, which is Individual, and where the question
  offers to set the variable x.birthdate.

  It will find that question here.

  The question uses the possessive() method, which is a method of the
  Individual class.  The result is that the question will be "What is
  your date of birth?" if x is the user, but will otherwise ask "What
  is Jane Doe's date of birth?"

  By using "generic" questions, you can write a single question that
  works in a variety of circumstances.  This saves you from having to
  write multiple questions, and also helps ensure that if you want to
  make a global change to the way a question is asked, you can do so
  in one place.

  If you ever want to use a more specific question for a specific
  variable, you can.  For example, if your code calls for
  spouse.birthdate, you may to ask the question in a different way.
  (E.g., "What is the birthdate of your lovely spouse?  If you don't
  know this, you are in deep trouble!")  You would do this by defining
  a non-generic question that sets spouse.birthdate, in which case
  docassemble would use that question instead of the generic question.

question: |
  What is ${ x.possessive('marital status') }?
choices:
  - Married: Married
  - Single: Single
  - Divorced: Divorced
  - Separated: Separated
comment: |
  This is an example of a multiple-choice question.  Each of the
  choices can be a key/value pair, or it can be a single text item.
  If the choice is a key/value pair, the key is the label that is
  shown to the user and value is the value to which the variable will
  be set.

field: user_understands_how_to_use_signature_feature
question: Instructions for signing your name
subquestion: |
  On the next screen, you will see a box in which you can sign your
  name using your mouse, track pad, or touch screen.  If you make a
  mistake, you can press "Clear" and try again.  For best results, try
  signing your name *slowly*.

question: |
  Sign your name
signature: x.signature
need:
  - x.name.first
  - user_understands_how_to_use_signature_feature
under: |
  ${ x.name }
comment: |
  docassemble can collect signatures from users, who can write their
  signature with their finger on a touchscreen device, or use a mouse
  or trackpad.  The signatures can be added to documents.
---
template: blank_signature
content: |
  \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
comment: |
  This template can be used to insert into a document a blank line
  that someone might sign.
---
template: empty_signature
content: |
  \_\_\_[Your signature here]\_\_\_
comment: |
  This template can be used in place of a user's signature.  It is a
  good practice to show users where their signature would go on a
  document before asking the user for his or her signature.

field: user_understands_no_attorney_client_relationship
question: |
  Your use of this system does not mean that you have a lawyer.  Do
  you understand this?
buttons:
  - "I understand": understands
  - code: |
      [{'does not understand':"I do not understand"}, {'unsure':"I'm not sure"}]
comment: |
  You can specify whether you want multiple choices to appear as
  buttons by using the word "buttons" instead of the word "choices."

  Also, the example above shows how you can use Python code to
  generate the selections of multiple-choice question.  The code is
  evaluated at the time the question is asked.
---
generic object: Individual
question: |
  What is ${ x.possessive('e-mail address') }?
fields:
  - E-mail: x.email
    datatype: email
comment: |
  The datatype "email" presents a text box that is like ordinary text
  boxes except that validation is applied that checks to make sure the
  e-mail address is valid.  Also, on supporting mobile web browsers,
  there is a different keyboard option (e.g, the @ sign is readily
  available).

question: |
  What is ${ x.possessive('gender') }?

generic object: Individual
question: |
  What is ${ x.object_possessive('name') }?
fields:
  - First Name: x.name.first
    default: ${ x.first_name_hint() }
  - Middle Name: x.name.middle
    required: False
  - Last Name: x.name.last
    default: ${ x.last_name_hint() }
  - Suffix: x.name.suffix
    required: False
    code: |
      name_suffix()
comment: |
  If an object does not have a name yet, generic questions can refer
  to it by the name of the variable itself, using the method
  .object_possessive().  For example, suppose you create an object,
  case.judge, with the class of Individual.  If the name of case.judge
  is ever needed, docassemble will use the question above to ask "What
  is the name of the judge in the case?"  If the object is called
  user, it will ask "What is your name?"  If the object is called
  village_idiot, it will ask "What is the village idiot's name?"

    choices: case.all_known_people()
    exclude:
      - x
      - x.child

  - Middle Name: x.child[i].name.middle
    required: False
  - Last Name: x.child[i].name.last
    default: ${ x.name.last }
  - Suffix: x.child[i].name.suffix
    required: False
    code: |
      name_suffix()
comment: |
  This illustrates the use of the ".possessive()" method of the class
  Individual.  Depending on who x is, this question will ask different
  things:

  Example 1: What is your second child's name?

  Example 2: What is John Doe's first child's name?

question: |
  Are there any ${ x.as_noun(plural=True) }?
yesno: x.there_are_any
comment: |
  The attributes .there_are_any and .there_is_another are special
  attributes that are used in the gathering of "groups" of things
  in docassemble interviews.
---

question: |
  ${ x.do_question('have', capitalize=True) } any children?
yesno: x.child.there_are_any
decoration: children
comment: |
  This illustrates the use of the ".do_question()" method of the class
  Individual.  Depending on who x is, this question will ask different
  things:

  Example 1: Do you have any children?

  Example 2: Does Jane Doe have any children?
---
generic object: DAList
question: |
  You have told me that there ${ x.does_verb("is") }
  ${ x.number_as_word() } ${ x.as_noun() }, ${ x }.
  Is there another ${ x.as_singular_noun() }?
yesno: x.there_is_another
comment: |
  It is possible to write highly generalized "generic" questions that
  use functions that ask questions of users based on variable names
  and linguistic variations of variable names.  For that reason, it is
  a good practice to give your variables meaningful, plain-English
  names.

  For example, if you create a PartyList called "plaintiff," this
  generic question will ask something like: "You have told me that
  there is one plaintiff, John Smith.  Is there another plaintiff?"
  This would not be possible if your variable name was something that
  only made sense to you, like "bad_guys_list_two."
---
generic object: Individual
question: |
  So far, you have told me about
  ${ x.possessive(x.child.number_as_word()) }
  ${ x.child.as_noun() }, ${ x.child }.
  ${ x.do_question('have', capitalize=True) } any other children?
yesno: x.child.there_is_another
decoration: children
comment: |
  This also illustrates the use of various methods of the class Individual.
  Depending on who x is, this question will ask different things:

  Example 1: So far, you have told me about John Doe's two children,
  Sally Doe and Harold Doe.  Does John Doe have any other children?

  Example 2: So far, you have told me about your one child, Kathleen
  Smith.  Do you have any other children?

  ${ x.on_one_line() }
  located?
fields:

---
generic object: Address
sets: x.county
code: |
  x.geocode()
comment: |
  This code block and the question before it illustrate the concept
  of "fallback" questions.  If the interview needs the "county"
  attribute of an address, but finds that it is not defined, it will
  first run this code block, which "geocodes" the address.  That is,
  it goes on to the internet and runs the address through a
  geocoding service, which returns geographic information about the
  address.

  This code block uses the "sets" directive to indicate that the code
  block offers sets the attribute "county."  Normally, you don't have
  to use "sets" with code blocks because docassemble can see by
  looking at the code what variables the code will set.  In the case
  of the code "x.geocode()," however, it is not apparent that the
  code is offering to set the "county" attribute.  Therefore we need
  to manually specify what the code block is offering to do.

  It is significant that the code block merely "offers" to set these
  variables.  The "x.geocode()" code might fail.  The user might put
  in an address that the geocoding service does not understand.  Or
  the geocoding service might be down at the time.  If that happens,
  the code block will run, but the attributes will not be set.

  If the variable that a code block offers to set is not actually set
  when the code is run, docassemble will look for another block that
  offers to set the variables.  In the case of the "county" attribute
  of an address, the question immediately preceding this one offers to
  set the "county" attribute.  It does so by asking the user a
  question, rather than by using a geocoding service.  This question
  serves as a "fallback" question.

  Note that when docassemble looks for a block that offers to set a
  variable, it starts at the end of the interview and proceeds
  backward.  Therefore, the order in which these blocks appear in
  the [YAML] file is significant.

generic object: City
question: |
  In which county in
  ${ state_name(x.state) }
  is
  ${ x.city }
  located?
fields:
  - County: x.county
    hint: |
      e.g., Springfield County
---
generic object: City
sets: x.county
code: |
  x.geocode()
comment: |

  Suppose you have an object "birthplace" of type "City."  A "City"
  object is a subtype of an "Address," and an "Address" is a type of
  "DAObject."  If your interview needs a definition of
  birthplace.county, docassemble will first look for blocks that offer
  to define "birthplace.county," then for "generic object: City"
  blocks that offer to define "x.county," then for "generic object:
  Address" blocks that offer to define "x.county," then for "generic
  object: DAObject" blocks that offer to define "x.county."

  Therefore, the "generic object: Address" code block is capable of
  defining "birthplace.county."  However, if we wish to have a
  fallback question that is "City"-specific, and we tag it with
  "generic object: City," this question will take priority over the
  "generic object: Address" code block.

  Therefore, in order to have a "City"-specific fallback question, we
  also need a "City"-specific code block.
