Gil Portenseigne commented on OFBIZ-5959:
-----------------------------------------
Quick answer to illustrate my way to deal with the given scenarii, then i'll read the doc you link about the UDM....
The fact that makes me have this opinion is that, for such kind of screens, i use to customize the screen to show only the roles that should be usable in the customer process, not the global list. Then the customized screen let us choose any party without ensuring that he possess the good role, and behind that, the creation of *Entity*Role record, will create the PartyRole if needed.
The way you describe the first scenario imply that we have to manage each party role independantly before associating the party to the Agreement (PartyRel or so). I do not find that convenient, and i'd appreciate to have more testimony about this matter.
For the second scenario, i'm not sure that automation is the good way to do. It's like adding the option to terminate all EntityRole records of the party and given role. It might be useful in specific cases. But i think that to know if the role is active or not, it's better to check *Entity*Role, than PartyRole...
