Once a participant is checked as a "vendor", they should be able to be included in any and all events instead of having to search and set up in every individual event. And they should carry forward as a "vendor" for any future event (in the look up in expenses).
I would like to see vendors separated from participant or a different type of participant. We use vendors on the event record for billing and information purposes, I don't like that they often clutter my list of attendees or sponsors.
I agree with Nicole!
