Cool! I'll check it out. We'll need to put in the translations too - I can do that if you don't want to take that piece on.

I should have considered that... I'm guessing my "solution" isn't super elegant and may not stand up to adding lots of translations in a well-structured way, but it may give better minds an idea.

If wedging JavaScript in rather than taking advantage of Django's templating system isn't a great idea, perhaps a more robust but less interactive solution would be changing the "Simple planning" column / field to "Expanded attendance options" (or similar: "Extended set", "Full set", etc.) and reversing the logic on the checkbox: When checked (the default), the full set of attendance options is available. When unchecked the reduced set of attendance options is available. Then go back to letting Django's templating system do the heavy lifting.

I changed the text to just "use yes/no/maybe responses" - is that clearer?

Yes... but, perhaps indicate what that is in contrast to. Perhaps something akin to:

 Use Yes/Maybe/No Responses (eliminate "probably" and "probably not")

Seems clunky. I'm going to leave it this way for now - it's better what was there before. I'll think about something better.

(I've converted the PR to draft until there's a longer-term plan.)
