I have a situation where I would like to have all registrants of a course set to pending automatically and then the organizer will set them to Participation Assured manually. The only thing I can do right now is set the number of participants to 0 and waitlist everybody. That kinda works but the email participants receive always has:

"Your booking was updated by the event organizer. You were booked on the waitlist, because the maximum number of participants has been reached."

regardless of the template. In this case, the message would be wrong. Actually it would be better if that message wasn't there and was part of the template. Is there a way I could handle this situation? This is a class with no fee.
