Improve confidentiality choices for Illinois filings #155

Description

@nonprofittechy

Partner feedback

On Your Documents / Organize documents, make the confidentiality choice easier for self-represented litigants:

  • Default to non-confidential.
  • Add explanatory language that a court order or rule is required to file confidentially; Illinois partner will provide exact language.
  • Only show the confidentiality question when it applies to the filing/document type.
  • Use radio buttons rather than a dropdown.

Current behavior

Radio-button rendering is already implemented for document-type/confidentiality choices, so that portion is complete. The current UI does not reliably default a two-choice confidentiality field to non-confidential, does not include the requested rule/order explanation, and still renders the confidentiality section even when no choices are available.

Acceptance criteria

  • When the EFSP offers public/non-confidential and confidential choices, default to the public/non-confidential choice unless a previously saved value exists.
  • Add configurable jurisdiction-specific explanatory/help text for confidentiality.
  • Support the Illinois-provided language about a court order/rule requirement.
  • Hide the confidentiality field entirely when it is not applicable / no choices are available.
  • Preserve any saved user selection when revisiting/editing the filing.
  • Continue to render the available choices as radio buttons.
