🎩 What? Why?
While working in
decidim-elections
, I noticed that if you have an Election with an `start_date in the past (ie an ongoing Election that wasn't sent to the Bulletin Board), the application doesn't allow you to make some changes in it (like creating/deleting/updating Questions and Answers).This doesn't make sense, as it shouldn't allow admins to make changes only once the Election was sent to the Bulletin Board, as making changes once the Election was sent could generate synchronization issues (like adding a question after it was sent). For signaling this we don't use the
start_date
attribute, but theblocked_at
attribute, accessible through theelection#blocked?
method.This PR fixes that.
Testing
(Before the patch)

of an Election to some time in the past (like 1 week ago)(After the patch)
