clsRequestIssueInfo

clsRequestIssueInfo is the most detailed code-table entry type in the CodeTables component grouping of SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal. It represents one request-issue reference-data row (likely sourced from a REQUEST_ISSUE_CODE-style table*), extending the base code/description pair with effective/expiration dating, form-request linkage, and request-type scoping used when validating or generating "other legal party and request issue" forms.

Purpose

• Represents one request-issue code/description entry with effective-dating (EffectiveDate/ExpirationDate) so expired issue codes can be identified via IsExpired.
• Carries FormRequestCode and RequestTypeCode/RequestTypeDescription so a request-issue entry can be linked to the specific form and request-type it applies to.
• Flags whether the issue requires an additional free-text field (IsAdditionalField) or represents a reconsideration issue (IsReconIssue), driving conditional UI behavior in the request-issue screens.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.CodeTables
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
EffectiveDate	Public ReadOnly Property EffectiveDate As Date	Date from which this request-issue entry is valid for selection. Defaults to Today if not supplied.
ExpirationDate	Public ReadOnly Property ExpirationDate As Date	Date after which this request-issue entry is no longer valid, derived from the internal clsSmartDate expiration value.
IsExpired	Public ReadOnly Property IsExpired As Boolean	True when an expiration date is set and EffectiveDate is before today, indicating the entry should no longer be offered for new selections.
FormRequestCode	Public ReadOnly Property FormRequestCode As String	Code identifying the form-request this issue entry is associated with.
IsAdditionalField	Public ReadOnly Property IsAdditionalField As Boolean	Indicates whether this issue requires an additional supplemental field to be captured when selected.
DisplaySortNumber	Public ReadOnly Property DisplaySortNumber As Integer	Sort order used to render this entry in issue-selection lists in a defined order rather than alphabetically.
RequestTypeCode	Public ReadOnly Property RequestTypeCode As String	The request-type code this issue entry applies to; used to scope which request types can select this issue.
IssueTextName	Public ReadOnly Property IssueTextName As String	Name/identifier of the issue text associated with this entry (source: inIssueTextCode constructor parameter).
RequestTypeDescription	Public ReadOnly Property RequestTypeDescription As String	Human-readable description of the associated request type.
IsReconIssue	Public ReadOnly Property IsReconIssue As Boolean	Indicates whether this issue entry represents a reconsideration-specific issue.
New	Public Sub New(inCode As String, inDescription As String, inShortDescription As String, inEffectiveDate As Date, inExpirationDate As clsSmartDate, inFormRequestCode As String, inIssueTextCode As String, inIsAdditionalField As Boolean, inDisplaySortNumber As Integer, inRequestTypeCode As String, inRequestTypeDescription As String, IsReconIssue As Boolean)	Constructs a fully-populated request-issue entry; unlike most sibling code-table entry types in this module, the constructor is Public, allowing direct construction outside the assembly.*

Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from CodeTableInfo(Of String) in SAIF.Framework. This base type is supplied by an external framework package rather than a documented dependency library in this run, so its members are not itemized here.**

Behavioral notes

• A companion query method, GetRequestedCodes(inRequestType As String, inRequestDate As Date) As IEnumerable(Of CodeTables.clsRequestIssueInfo), filters a collection of clsRequestIssueInfo entries via CodeInfoList.Where(Function(x) x.RequestTypeCode = inRequestType And (x.ExpirationDate = Date.MinValue OrElse inRequestDate < x.ExpirationDate) And x.EffectiveDate < inRequestDate) — selecting entries matching the given request type whose active-dating window (effective before, and either never-expiring or not yet expired as of) the supplied request date.*

Constraints and usage notes

• Because the constructor is Public (not Friend), this type can be instantiated directly by consumers, unlike most other code-table entry classes in mdlCodeTables.vb.*

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
