The ability to link existing non-constituent relationships into the Event Module would be a great help. Currently, we have to link the account holder and then manually add/type/copy the non-constituent spouse or relationship over if both are attending the event. This is a lot of duplication of effort to keep the event module accurate and current.
I merged the above idea into this one, as this one is more broad. Changing the status of this idea to Voting Open because it's been reviewed. While not currently planned, this will remain open for voting and future consideration as a change.
Please note that it's now possible to link non-constituents as guests of a participant through RE NXT Events, which hopefully meets part of the need for users. Leaving this idea open to represent the larger ask: linking non-constituents as full participants or guests in RE7/database view rather than RE NXT/web view.
Same idea started here:

You can link constituents to non-constituent relationships in RE, which is a very good thing. If the non-constituent becomes a constituent at some point, BOOM! All of those relationships are there. This should apply to event participation as well
