Additional notes on design
- Assignee dropdown should expand vertically to include additionally added users. We can set a max height of four rows of tokens. Beyond that, a scroll bar will appear for displaying the additionally added items.
- Tokens within the participants field will be draggable in the longer-term, so people can re-organize the participants as needed. This isn't necessary for the MVC but adding that detail here in case it affects any current implementation decisions.
- Token colors can utilize the data viz color palette, following the chevron-skipping pattern from https://design.gitlab.com/data-visualization/color#categorical-data
- Recommending a 24 hour clock in the time dropdown so people don't have to worry about AM/PM designations
