Workflows: Feature or Design Pattern for Collecting Boolean Responses from Multiple Users

[timcortesi]

• We need the ability to get a boolean response from a list of individuals (yes / no, pass / fail, approve / reject, etc) and store that somewhere so it can be referenced.
• The population of individuals could be:
  • A group
  • A list of unique_ids as defined in a duplicatable field within a form
• We need the ability to notify these individuals that they have to provide a response
• We need to be able to trigger an action when all individuals provide a response
• Could be weird logic based on how everyone responded which determines which action is taken.
  • For example: If 51% of participants responded positively, take Action A. Or maybe we simply don't care about responses... unclear. This gets wonky.
    • Ideally these responses would be able to be collected simultaneously (not some cyclical logic)
• Ideally this situation would be handled w/o requiring external APIs or External Logic

If we can't handle this in a truly simultaneous capacity, we would need a clean way of doing this with automated routing and assignments and whatever else so that it "feels" more/less automatic / simultaneous.

It's a head scratcher, but we do see a lot if these.
