Feature Request: Unlock Proposal from Multiple UI Entry Points
Summary:
Add the ability to unlock a proposal directly from both the breadcrumb and the proposal hover menu. This provides users with quick, context-sensitive access to unlock actions without needing to open the full proposal view or navigate to a separate settings area.
Problem Statement:
Currently, users must navigate into the proposal or a specific settings/action panel to unlock it. This adds extra clicks and interrupts common workflows, especially when users are reviewing multiple proposals or moving quickly between different parts of the application. The lack of unlock actions in high-visibility UI elements (like the breadcrumb and hover menu) makes it harder to correct lock states, unblock collaborators, or quickly adjust ownership.
Proposed Solution:
Expose an “Unlock proposal” action in the following locations:
Breadcrumb: When the current item is a locked proposal, show an “Unlock” option in the breadcrumb’s contextual menu.
Proposal hover menu: When hovering over a locked proposal in lists, tables, or cards, display an “Unlock proposal” action in the hover menu.
Behavior details:
Only users with appropriate permissions (e.g., proposal owners or admins) can see and use the unlock action.
Triggering the action immediately unlocks the proposal and updates its state in all visible UI elements (lists, breadcrumbs, detail view) without requiring a full page refresh.
Show a brief confirmation/message (e.g., toast) that the proposal has been successfully unlocked.
If the unlock fails (e.g., permission or system error), display a clear error message explaining why and what the user can do next.
Benefits:
Reduces the number of clicks and navigation steps required to unlock proposals.
Speeds up workflows for power users who regularly manage or review multiple proposals.
Decreases user frustration when encountering locked proposals that block edits or collaboration.
Improves overall usability by aligning unlock controls with where users naturally interact with proposals (breadcrumbs and hover menus).
