      Description

      • When saving a new reminder it becomes disabled if you un-check the "send email" box. Inspecting the element, that checkbox is actually the "is_active" field. This is confusing tho because it has a different label on the view screen.
      • When un-checking the "send email" box, the email fields do not get hidden
      • Email fields do not get validated. Should it really be ok to send a reminder email with a blank subject and blank body?
      • I'm confused about the "Record activity for automated email" option - what does it do? I would expect it to be inside the Email fieldset as it seems like it would only be relevant if an email is actually being sent. Or is it somehow relevant to more than just the email?
      • I find the "When... [datepicker] OR [x][hours][before][thing]" section confusing, probably because both sections are always visible - what does the OR mean? I assume it means the select dropdowns will be ignored if the datepicker has a value? But the UI doesn't make that clear.
