Fully Delete RFI's
Currently Mercury doesn’t allow for full deletion of RFI’s - this tends to cram up the RFI section with any RFI’s that are “VOID”. I would suggest the ability to fully delete RFI’s, or a section that’s separate from RFI’s that holds the void/recycled RFI’s

Connor - That’s definitely possible, but would require a revision to the UX across all tools to create a location to store voided forms. I think we can still accomplish this request more quickly by providing an easy way to hide the voided forms.
With the features now available to save views, you could set a filter to remove VOID from the status column. The catch is we don’t currently break down VOID as an independent Status, so the filters can’t target just void. Therefore, I’m going to merge this request with the one that adds granularity to our filters (votes and comments will be consolidated).

BACKGROUND: An RFI is only numbered after it is Published. If it is created but only saved (DRAFT), it can be fully deleted/removed. Publishing is also what triggers notifications. So if an RFI is removed after it has a number and notifications have been sent, it will leave a gap in numbering or have someone (design team) wonder why they got an email that it was assigned but no longer exists.
DISCUSSION: This is not a technical limitation. So, please comment and vote if the ability to fully remove an RFI is more critical than the current logic described above.

I understand and agree with Patricks logic - however, is there a way to make this more visually appealing? Can we keep VOIDED RFI’s in a separate section?
