PKP Bugzilla – Bug 8125
Submissions cannot be deleted
Last modified: 2013-02-21 15:50:23 PST
It's impossible to delete a submission. Suggest allowing Managers to delete a submission anytime from the submission header (as a top-level button alongside Catalog | Info | Participants), with a confirmation modal. Should authors be able to delete submissions too, and if so, under what conditions (i.e. before any participants are assigned)?
Better: this should be added as a row action on Managers' submission lists. That means deleting a published monograph is a two-step process like in OJS (first unpublish, then find it in the list and delete it). This way we don't have to give it undeserved prominence and real estate.

Created attachment 3910 [details] Patch against OMP 1.0b (needs testing)
Fixed role name https://github.com/pkp/omp/commit/3ee18f031c680105404b10df000523da5a58f021
Implemented against omp-stable-1_0 and master. Attached patch not tested fully against 1.0b, but should work. Authors can already delete incomplete submissions; this patch adds a row action on the Dashboard submission lists so that users with managerial roles can delete submissions as well.
