Create RIDAC items (Risks, Issues, Decisions, Actions, Changes) for a planning item to track and manage governance across the planning lifecycle.

## About this task

RIDAC is a governance framework that tracks five key item types for planning items:

* **Risks:** Potential events or conditions that could negatively impact the planning item or its outcomes.
* **Issues:** Current problems or blockers that require immediate attention and resolution.
* **Decisions:** Critical choices or approvals needed to move the planning item forward.
* **Actions:** Specific tasks or steps required to address risks, issues, or implement decisions.
* **Changes:** Modifications to scope, schedule, resources, or other planning item attributes.
