Error
In the Obsidian Group Placement block, a person who is an **Inactive** member of an active placement group is shown in "People to Place" as though they have never been placed. Before the block was rewritten, an inactive member counted as placed. There is no configuration option to restore the old behavior.
Why it matters
Inactivating a group member is the normal way to record "this person was in this group, but isn't now" while preserving the history and the group member attributes. Under the current behavior, every past placement that has been inactivated resurfaces as work to be done, and the only ways out are to delete the group member records (losing the history) or to re-place people who were deliberately removed. On a registration with any meaningful history, the "People to Place" list stops being a usable work queue.
Proposed solution
Add a setting to the Placement Configuration panel controlling which group member statuses count as already placed — e.g. a checkbox list of Active / Pending / Inactive, defaulting to Active and Pending to preserve current behavior. This would be surfaced as a parameter on `spGetGroupPlacementPeople` rather than hardcoded.
A simpler variant, if a full status picker is too much: a single "Treat inactive group members as placed" checkbox.
