NXT: Adding an indicator in the "attended" column for participants marked as "Not attended"

When looking at Event's participant lists, the "Attended" column will display "✅ Attended" when someone is marked as having attended.

It would be great if this column would also display "No", "Did not attend", or some kind of symbolic indicator of non attendance.

Right now you can deduce that if the RSVP status is "attending" and the "attended" column is blank then that participant "did not attend." The logic makes sense but is an extra cerebral processing step and more importantly leaves room for it to be interpreted with a possibility that the participant's attendance simply wasn't updated.

There are of course ways to verify and get to the answer of attendance in the affirmative or negative without this, but this would serve the "at a glance" function for users who aren't doing a full analysis or review of event metrics.

    It would be very helpful to see 'Not Attended' in the Attended column of a list of participants in an event. You could change the RSVP status to 'Canceled' - but not all the people who RSVP'd that they would be coming will actually cancel - the will simply 'not attend'.

    In a participant list, clicking on the button to mark selected records as 'Mark not attended' doesn't seem to work - please make it work, and then add the 'Not Attended' to that Attended column.

    There seem to be multiple 'ideas' on this same topic - adding post-event attendance data to a constituent's NXT profile. Please consider making this adjustment. TYIA!

    I agree. This leads to the possibility of a lot of bad data! You do have a way for us to check people off as "did not attend"; why does this info not appear in that column? This is not helpful for our fundraisers. As noted above, I would agree that the possibility that data is missing MUST be clearly distinct from the data that is confirmed, yes OR no. Is this a difficult fix? That data is going *somewhere*; I do not see it in the constituent record, either. Please fix.
