Diagnostics: ?

The Q/A form is filled in with my current answer if any, and actively changeable. If it is a multiple option question, the radio buttons are instead checkboxes. There are other possibilities.

The "answer" button would normally go on to the enquiry page, but may instead be redirected to enquiry type or my-answers page.

Issues

A change to an answer, if it comes from a correspondent page, will always invalidate that correspondence and any invitation, so from the correspondent page, return to the examine page.
