This pull request contains an enhancement that makes it easier for TaxBrain to determine which parameters can have their
cpi_inflated
value changed in a reform.Trying to set
cpi_inflated
to true for a variable that hascpi_inflatable
equal to false, will generate a reform implementation error that is raised as a ValueError, in exactly the same as if an unknown parameter name was included in the JSON reform file. This should never arise when the TaxBrain GUI is being used because TaxBrain will never prepare a JSON reform file that generates this reform error. However, just as there is no way to prevent a TaxBrain user from uploading a JSON reform file that contains an unknown parameter name, the file upload logic in TaxBrain needs to catch these kind of ValueError messages. I believe TaxBrain file upload logic already does this, so this enhancement should not involve any changes to the file upload capability.There are no changes in tax calculating logic or results.
