Record that a capture section had NOTHING to report this period, DOES NOT APPLY to this entity, or that this is the entity’s FIRST YEAR (previous-year figures only). These are three different statements and are not interchangeable: "nothing this period" means the section applies but had no activity; "does not apply" means it never applies to this entity at all. This is your user’s professional assertion, recorded as authorised by them — ask which one is true, and never guess. NOT every reason is available for every section — call get_schedule3_workspace and read allowed_reason_codes on the section before you ask your user, so you never put a choice to them that Datavrn will refuse. The restrictions: Settings takes NO answer here at all (it is only answered by saving the settings); share capital and partner capital take only "nothing this period", because those sections are shown only for statement formats they apply to, so "does not apply" can never be true; and "first year" belongs only to previous-year figures. To record a REVIEW being complete (previous-year figures, disclosures) use confirm_capture_review instead; this tool cannot make that assertion. A section can only hold one active answer. If the section’s current answer is still standing, this call refuses — revoke it with revoke_capture_declaration first. If the current answer was already WITHDRAWN by later changes (Datavrn shows the section as unanswered), this call supersedes it: the old answer is marked withdrawn and stays on the record, and the response names what was withdrawn. An answer is never edited in place. Superseding or changing an answer invalidates any finalise approval you already hold — the next finalise_statement will ask you to review the current state again. Generate a fresh version after your last capture change — finalisation checks the version’s frozen capture state, not today’s.
