LMS-1378 Ability to add supporters to Motions

Summary of feature request

  • Add the ability to insert supporters to Motions by providing the “Manage proposers and supporters” modal that already exist within LoDAs

  • Change the refersTo attribute in the <docProponent> to “motion”

Background

Currently, Motions are restricted and it is only possible to add proposers. This is because, originally, the instructions that were given specified that only proposers could be added to a motion so we customised the UI to reflect those specifications.

However, this does not seem to be the case anymore, as also supporters could potentially be added to a motion.

Original Description

Hello,

We have an Amendment paper currently that requires a supporter name added to a Motion:

https://lawmaker.legislation.gov.uk/project/f40f8fc1-6460-485a-9b84-c612e9deaaca/edit/4799dcfc-984f-4ac4-9580-0476dbbaf32a

This is quite rarity in my experience, but I think it may be worth adding this feature (similar to amendments). I had to use a ‘Motion to amended an order’ element in order to enter the supporter name as text.
