Expanded support for cancelled activities
Many activities have been cancelled due to the corona pandemic. Therefore, we have made the following changes:

• A new status was added “cancelled (extern)”, thought e.g. in case of cancellation due to corona virus.
• The number of services can now be changed in the activity even if the activity is cancelled.
• In the dispo view, the different cancel states have now different colors. “cancelled request” are shown in orange and “cancelled (extern)” in dark red.
• The status “cancelled (extern)” is automatically available in all status filters, e.g. in the dispo view, in plans or in the program exports.
• The performance statistic can now issue cancelled activities.
• The appointment letter can now issue cancelled activities. You should add the merge field “cancelState“ in the template.
