Feature Proposal: Make bulk registration a bit easier to set up and use

Motivation

There are several open tasks on this going back to T* days

• Item975: Bulk Registration works fine with Apache login
• Item2266: Suggested improvements to post-processing BulkRegistration
• Item8878: Bulk rego process can be trivially improved
• Item9790: Update and modernise the UI for BulkRegistration
• Item13999: The overwrite user topic option is bogus.

There really is some low hanging fruit here, using template topics, forms and EDITTABLE to make this much easier to use.

Description and Documentation

1. Create a BulkRegistrationInputTemplate topic that builds the table columns from a search of the field names in the NewUserTemplate (or an alternate template name)
2. Add a selection field on BulkRegistration topic to chose which User Template to use when creating the UnprocessedRegistrations topic.
3. Add a button to the BulkRegistration topic which will create the UnprocessedRegistrations topic automatically using the above template.
   • List the formfield names on the template topic, and populate the registration table from selected fields.
4. Add a ViewTemplate for the BulkRegistrations that shows the log of the last run.
5. Add a Bulk Password Reset form to the bulk registration log.

Discussion

Most of this was already done on various enhancement tasks, but it got big enough that I decided to create a feature request.

Jumped the gun because this got started with bugfixes and minor enhancements that grew a bit too large. So subject to revert.

Changing this to UnderConstruction. No feedback.
