Ability to delete a task

[huangqun]

Expected behavior

There should be a way to delete a task.

Actual behavior

Right now after a task is created, there's no way to delete it, even if for some reason the task fails to create the legacy challenge and therefore cannot be closed in the normal way.

@acshields we don't yet have delete feature in general for any challenge. How do you want to proceed with this? What would be the rules for deleting the challenges? For reference we have delete feature logged here #873 which we closed because we wanted to handle it with new designs.

@vikasrohit - your response suggests that getting to a "delete" capability will take more than two weeks for us to get to the requirements/an implemented solution. I will deprioritize this for now, and instead will look to prioritize it later as a project.

@acshields I didn't mean that it would take more time. I meant is that we need to come up with business rules for which deletion would be allowed. I think API already has this capability and has its own rules but question is that are we on same page for those rules? There might be no such rule at all, I am just conveying that we need to discuss on that with @rootelement

@acshields @huangqun we added the capability (#927) to delete any challenge that is in New status. Closing the issue for now, please feel free to reopen it if the new functionality is not what was intended in this request.
