From a conversation with @flynnliz, it would be helpful to provide a clearer way to set the name that will be shown for an entry on the agenda.
The Session and TimeSlot models each have a name field and how these are shown (or not) on the agenda is not clear through the UI. This is probably another case of the UI too closely following the underlying modeling.
The editor UI should clearly display the name for a session that will be shown on the actual agenda. It should provide a straightforward way to modify this.
As of Oct 2022, the process for modifying a session title looked something like this (per email from @flynnliz)
Here’s the order of operations to change the spelling of a non-WG session:
I created the session requests and time slots for four new participant related events
The folks in charge decided to change the spelling of the titles of all four events to add an apostrophe to the end of “participants”
I edited all four time slots to add the apostrophe to the titles
I noticed the old punctuation still appeared on the agenda so I realized that changing the text in the timeslot was not the right thing to do
I unlocked the session request tool (I am now able to add a new session request without unlocking/re-locking the tool altogether, but in order to edit an existing request I still have to unlock it)
I edited the EMODIR session request to add the apostrophes to each session name
I re-locked the session request tool
Updating the session request pushes out a confusing email to Lars and the EMODIR chairs, because it only says that “an update has been submitted” but it doesn’t specify what their sessions are or what may have changed, and it also says “The third session requires your approval” even though it doesn’t really, so now one of them is going to ask me why they got the email and what they’re supposed to do with it and I will have to tell them to ignore it again.
