Withdrawing Conditional Applications
LSA-UMich uses conditional applications to allow applicants to get funding for various study abroad/internship programs on a rolling basis. They have had applicants apply for the scholarships and then decide they no longer want to be considered. Or they applied but the window for funding has passed and they are no longer eligible. This is producing a list of applications that should no longer be in the list.
Applicants are wishing they can withdraw their applications and the client is wishing they could easily identify these applicants for exclusion in communications, reviewer groups and exclusion from ACA.
We've created some admin questions and answers that have allowed for some filtering of the grids, and data points to use as qualifications within the reviewer groups and opportunities but it would be helpful if we could do something that could more easily trickle down.
Being able to re-categorize conditional applications could be helpful, but I'll leave the feature brainstorming to y'all. ;)

Related Enhancements
IU would also like to propose for a withdrawal functionality for the General Application.
See similar use case from northshore in merged enhancement. They would like the ability to withdraw General Applications.
Wesleyan would also like to be able to withdraw (or re-categorize) applications from their Grants Application process, which makes use of a conditional application. In their use case, a student may chose to no longer seek funding for a summer internship experience or the applicant shouldn't have applied in the first place. The admin then has to go in and use a custom Admin Decline category to make it clear the application shouldn't be awarded or be eligible for review.
Wesleyan would also like to be able to change an applicant to a custom Not Funded category at the conditional level and have it propagate down to each opportunity, instead of having to use ACA and go opportunity-by-opportunity.
Flex Apps are not feasible because there are many opportunities that are gated by the CAs in LSA-UMich and Wesleyan's sites.
Kelley Souza from Texas Exes would also like this enhancement. She specifically wanted to use this for applicants that apply for scholarships but decide they no longer want to be considered. She wanted to be able to do this in one place on the Conditional Application level rather than Admin - declining on each opportunity
