Is your feature request related to an existing module? The Candidate Parameter's Family tab allows a user to select the type of relationship between 2 candidates but the source of truth of the possible relationship types is defined in both SQL (family table) AND in the JavaScript code https://github.com/aces/Loris/blob/main/modules/candidate_parameters/jsx/FamilyInfo.js#L135 making project flexibility very limited without an override. Describe the solution you'd like There is no reason the options can not be loaded directly from the SQL, if it is done for proper labeling, we can use either an automatic underscore-to-space conversion or a name-label in SQL to manually define labels for each. Additional context The Candidate parameters module is reachable by going to access profile (candidate_list) --> click on a candidate --> click on candidate info. In some cases the Family tab is unaccessible if the study configuration does not have it enables (check config module)

We need the possibility of filtering dates using a range filter. It would be nice to be able to filter for >= or <= A JSX element should be created and can be added as a filter in Form.js. An existing UI element exists in the dashboard under the Statistics module. The filter should be added to the candidate_list module to filter DoB, as well as to replace the existing date range in dashboard.

On a fresh LORIS install without data, the dashboard pages has all the boxes and widgets but they are mostly empty. They should probably replaced with a message saying "No data collected yet" or something along those lines. To reproduce: Install a fresh copy of LORIS (without raisinbread) Login as the user created as part of the install process.
